If you are worried about private forums etc, and are in the same situation as me where the only forums which need the ability to search are the public ones, simply disable searching for admin and mods of the private forums, that way no private posts can be found in any hole in the scripts, because no private posts will ever be searched.

I'm personally not too bothered, the private game editing forums on my forums are all search disabled and hidden too, normal users can get NO access. But even if they could it's no biggie.
