Greg, sorry for the delay.

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.

This is not totally true. The search engine does work in the private areas, but you have to search from there. In other words, go to a private area and try to search for a private topic. The search dropdown will be initially set to "Everywhere" -- please change it to "In <subforum-name>". The search should work, please check.

I understand that ideally the search engine should work from anywhere and should always display what the user can view, but this is hard to implement. The solution above shouldn't be an issue if you have one (or at most two) private areas in your forum. What do you think?
