Search reveals unlisted gallery

I want to upload images into a gallery, call it Originals. Then I collect images from Originals into various public galleries. I don't want site visitors to be aware of Originals.
Originals is in the Pictures folder, which is at the top level, in other words
site > Pictures > Originals
Pictures is unlisted and Originals has Privacy: Inherit.
Say there's a public, top-level gallery named Yum. Originals contains an image titled Anchovy Pizza. I collect it into Yum. Now a site visitor uses the Search menu item in the menu bar at the top of the home page. He searches for Anchovy:
http://www.site.com/search#q=anchovy
There are 2 images in the search results. He clicks the Anchovy Pizza image. He sees a theme default style gallery showing Originals, with the Anchovy Pizza image displayed:
http://www.site.com/Pictures/Originals/x-gXr3v/x-T6ZmWhn
For now, there's a viewing password on the site; I'll remove it when the site goes public. No folders or galleries have passwords.
Is there a way to achieve the organization I want, keeping visitors completely unaware of Originals, regardless of which functions they use?

Collected images will keep the protection settings from their original gallery, so images collected from Originals into other public galleries would keep whatever protections you have in place in Originals.
Can you email us at the help desk so that we can help troubleshoot? We'll need to know the viewing password on the account so that we can try as a viewer.
Take care,
