Custom search results for global search

Another interesting solution could be the following:
1. For each role/path combo - create a Hidden predicate on the Assets Search Form
1. Use the excludespaths QueryBuilder predicate to exclude a specific path/path-pattern -- test this out as excludepaths seems like it might be a little slower, you might be able to figure out how to do the inverse using the paths predicate as well.
1. Permission those hidden predicates nodes in the JCR to be only read-able by members in the role that shouldn't be able to see assets in those folders.
This is effectively selectively toggling the inclusion of Search Form predicates that exclude paths, based on the users permission (which should be mapped to a user group/role).
As I mentioned, performance test this to make sure it's OK, but you should be able to work something out w/ this that only affects OOTB Assets Search experience. Also, double-check all the places users might search from to ensure these predicates are evaluated there (ex. I don't think they're evaluated from the Page Editor sidebar) ... If you need something TRULY global, i think ACLs on the folders/assets themselves are going to end up being your answer.
