I’m actually working on a project right now with very similar requirements as far as the category searching. There is one category that only logged in members should be able to search by. Hiding two categories (or more) can be done quite easily. My suggestion would be to have only a single directory though. You can put the search box in a “public” and “member” page and when a search is performed, the results page will be the same directory page. Hope that makes sense!
