So what is the problem?

Search result is database based. Restrict the result department wise while fetching data. In query allow for only the specific department. That would be an extra WHERE clause.

Whereas, in UI, you can have role based access to different departments.
Since both are handled at totally different places, it should not be a problem for you. Provide access at any level.
