Search for the word Carmel. You'll find posts. Granted, the "fix" actually breaks part of the (I think) intended behavior of Wordpress... which is to say, it permits users to look up private posts by other users-- provided that their user level is greater than the post level associated with the post.

For instance, if you are a level 1 user, you can see all level 0 and level 1 posts. If a post with the title "PostLevelZero" is posted, you can look it up via catagory or by post month or by stub (the direct link to the post)... but if you try to search for the term "PostLevel" it won't appear in the search results. New posts are still accessible from the main page (since there is no search filter). It turns out that hidden posts are hidden in search results regardless of your user level.
