I'm interested if anyone has any thoughts (or examples) of mixing password-protected (member-only) content and public content in search results.
I have a couple of projects for associations serving a mixed audience of members and the general public. Some articles/pages on the site are available to the public and some are only available to members. One thought we're exploring is allowing non-members to search the site and see both public and private results, but only be able to click through to public content. Private content might not have a link or the link might connect to an explanation page (e.g. "you could see this content if you were a member"). This way the search results are complete and would serve as a sales tool. Any thoughts?
