I can't elaborate more than the javadoc says:

    /**
     * Sets the search root list.<p>
     * 
     * Only resources that are sub-resources of one of the search roots
     * are included in the search result.<p>
     * 
     * The search roots set here are used <i>in addition to</i> the current site root
     * of the user performing the search.<p>
     * 
     * By default, the search roots contain only one entry with an empty string.<p>
     *
     * @param searchRoots the search roots to set
     */

ps. I'm keeping under my pillow a printed version of javadoc and the 
sources of opencms, you should do the same (joking :))
