Where did I say that, Jay?  ;)

I didn't suggest that at all.  In my example these args would be read
before the query is submitted.  The code would determine based on the
value of the args, what to submit in the query.  In other words, you
would search only the desired blogs.  Like most MT template tags, the
args and context would assessed before the query is formulated.

Fair enough, but doesn't each blog (whether public or private) have
its own search results template.  The question is not about public
versus private blogs, but rather how often do you want two search
forms on the *same* blog to filter (include/exlcude) the results in
different ways?  I'm not saying that need never arises, but it seems
rare.
