Through debugging, I found the parameter CATID, TYPEID and INSTID is not passed into main search function module in line 61, which means they are not considered during search at all.

Instead the search result are filtered by the three parameters in post processing, according to the attribute value “CRM_SEARCH_VISIBILITY” of each attachment instance:

according to the filtering logic in code below, the attribute would work as below in CMAdvDocumentFinder implementation:
