I wouldn't call that 'private'. It must be clear that it can be provided 
to external users (although
it will have completely different scores than in your internal one). At 
the very least, the search
engine shall be allowed to use that data to crawl those urls for 
third-party users.

We don't want something like this: ;)
-You showed my private information to other users!
-Well, the search engine just answered the query providing your blog.
-It was a private search engine!
-It happened that only your web had a hit for asdfghjjj. What's wrong on 
showing the result?
-It was my secret diary!! And now hundreds of people are visiting it!
-If you wanted a secret diary, why do you placed that in a blog?
-So i could use Wikia Search to search on it, obviously.
