FYI
.
IF, the 'Format' (on the 'left-hand-side) is a "Camera", WITH a "Key", Icon; THEN, it generally (but, not always) means that the "Film", is "Restricted"; and, the Film may:
(1) be accessible/viewable through an 'External' (Partner) Website
..... [ where 'Fees' may apply ]; or,
(2) be accessed/viewed [ by anyone ], at a "Family History Centre" of the Church, around the World (or, sometimes; but, not always, an "Affiliate" Library, around the World) [ for FREE ].
.
IF, you select that "Camera", WITH a "Key", Icon; THEN, then there will be a 'Message' advising you where/how you can access/view the Film.
.
Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch':
.
Why are there access restrictions on Historical Records?
.
What are the image restrictions in Historical Records?
.
I hope this helps.

ps: A "Film Reel" Icon, generally means that a Film may ONLY be accessed/viewed at the "Family History Library" (FHL), of the Church, in 'Temple Square' in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA - But, there may be other "Restrictions'.
.
pps: What is the Film Number(s); or what is the DGS number(s).
....... [ We may be able to check and advise of the situation/circumstances ]

This is it https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/389975?availability=Family History Library , I know I cant see the actual records, but should I be able to make searches and see the search results? If I try to search something It says no results.

It looks like those records will need to be viewed at the Family History Library. I am no expert, but that is what it looks like to me. You may consider reaching out to the Library and scheduling a research appointment. They are free, and offered by Library staff: https://go.oncehub.com/ResearchStrategySession

they should mark those somehow better, now its confusing when there is that magnifying glass and it says no results, when ´there is results but you cant see them. Why there isnt that lock key above magnifying glass.
