When I have searched for names on family trees, a private tree will pop up once in a while in the list along with public trees. A message says to contact the owner if I want to know more. I cannot search the tree and if the hit is like many of the ones for public tress it isn't even really the name I am search for but might be similar.
I am suspicious of any hits on Ancestry now. In trying to find out how I link to a DNA match many times I have found that the source of the information on their tree is another Ancestry member's tree. And often it's my tree! I have a minimal tree that's public and one going further back that is not. I'll have to look into the non-searchable option that was mentioned.
