Search in Private Areas

I have a number of forums where there are private areas with the "View" permission removed for those in the "Anyone" group. It appears that any forum or sub-forum must be set for "Anyone" to "View" for Nabble's search engine to be able to spider that area.

Is there any code that can be applied in NAML that will allow access to the search results while still keeping the results only viewable by authorised users.

For example, could the search engine be assigned a dummy email address, so an administrator could add a group "Search" and assign the dummy address to it. That would give the ability to an administrator to add or remove the "View" permission from the "Search" group thus controlling which forums/sub-forums were searched. Obviously, an additional filter would need to be added to the results so users only saw the results from those sub-forums where they themselves had the "View" permission?

Just an idea... Doable?
