There is a jira issue at 
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/FCREPO-1008 "Filtering of search results by 
access constraints"
which is intended to do the work that you are asking for. It is far from 
trivial to change fedora-server.jar for fcrepo-serverXXX.jar. With your insight 
and interest in it, you may help me or do some of the work, would you like that?
