While AD groups may be 'best practice' from a Search performance perspective, they hamper end user control over permissions on a site and increase soft costs for IT.

Hi Trevor
we have a issue when we add 'AD Security group' added to SharePoint (2016) . groups. the users able to login to the site, but they can't see any search results till we added them as individual. we got 4000+ users who need readonly access to the Intranet home pages. I have added the AD domain security group to the SharePoint groups.
let us know where to check to resolve the issue. The ULS logs only says
Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Query.Ims.ImsQueryInternal : Number of tables in Result: 3, Relevant Results: 0 (Total: 0, Total including duplicates: 0),
how a member of AD security group can see the search results. we are using Cloud Search service application.
