Add another level of folder permission to control whether or not the contents of the folder will be included in library search results. This would allow library administrators to limit visibility to simplify searching (for ad-hoc, testing, archives, etc.), but still allow direct navigation if desired. The new hierarchy would be:
Access: Per current functionality
Browse + Access: Current functionality, but contents of folder are not included in library search results
Browse + Access + Search: As above, but contents of folder are included in search results
Browse + Access + Search + Modify: As above, plus ability to modify the files
Full Control: Per current
