Is password protected visitor search possible?

It's late so I may have missed it but is there a way to have a password protected gallery that is searchable by a visitor who I supply a link and password to?
Well every person you can know,
And every place that you can go,
And any thing that you can show,
You know they're nouns.

    Keyword searches are not available for password-protected galleries.

    From the help page at http://www.smugmug.com/help/keywords-tags:
    Gotchas: Only you, as the account owner, will be able to search for any keywords from unlisted or password-protected galleries.

    No, only public galleries that are not password protected can be searched in by visitors.

    Hey Seb, KW's are active from PW'ed galleries when logged in so they
    must be appended to the cloud. Why can't after entering a PW for a gallery
    the galleries with that PW are also appended to the cloud.

    Thanks for the update. As I understand it, the site owner has access to the search function. With that being the case is it possible to create different levels of user access and then provide password protected search functionality or are the levels simply owner and visitor?

    Why can't the keyword cloud of passworded galleries be appended to the
    keyword list when a gallery password is entered? This is done when logging
    in. This would make many families very happy that don't want their photos
    exposed to the public but still be able to find Grandma.:D

    Zenfolio just made this happen.

    http://www.zenfolio.com/zf/news/11-01-14

    "Password-protected items are now included in search results. Viewers will still need to type in their password to view photographs [ALL USERS]."

    We're not just going to take that, are we?! eek7.gifD

    Hmmmm.... Zenfolio you say. Two years later seems like a good time for bumping this thread to get more votes for this:
