Well, I suppose he wants to hide 'technical', 'admin', or other pages 
irrelevant to the authors from the returned lists For example someone looks 
for 'gork' and gork happens to be in the sidebar. He might not want all his 
authors who use the sidebar actually see it in lists every time they look 
for 'gork'. :) Same thing if someone looks for Edit or Read in a wiki about 
text editing; they would not expect to see the interface pages come up 
(PageTopMenu, etc)
