Answers to private questions showing up in search

Hi! We just installed AnsPress and are testing things out and found some odd functionality.

It looks like if a user posts a Question and marks it as private it correctly hides that question from both the navigation and the search. UPDATE: it looks like the question can be found through search as well.

However, if an admin answers that question I would have expected that answers to be hidden as well. As it is, however it looks like a user not involved in the question can see the answers in the search (though the link does 404 if you try to click on it).

Am I missing a setting or is this just not working as I expect it to?

This behavior in AnsPress, where a private question is hidden but the answer appears in search (leading to a 404), suggests an issue with how the privacy setting propagates to related content and search e-zpassme indexing. You should check the AnsPress settings related to privacy, search indexing, and answer visibility, as this might be a configuration oversight or a known bug.
