This is not the case in my CVS version of CMF (from end of January).

And I do not think, it should be that way:

  *  Reviewers, Managers and the document owner should still be
     able to find non-published objects through a search
     (as was the case, before the "visible" introduction)

  *  tying catalog searches to the "review_state" would make it more
     difficult to integrate additional workflows with CMF.
