Vista - HELP! need help on removing "recent __" in the "searches" folder

That makes sense now that I dig a little further. If you look at the
'Scope' part of the query:

{5E6C858F-0E22-4760-9AFE-EA3317B67173}

is the User Profile directory and:

{DFDF76A2-C82A-4D63-906A-5644AC457385}

is the Public directory. My Public folders show the owner as
'Administrators'. I would think if you moved a folder you owned into one of
the Public folders, it would show up in the search as well.

Yes that works too as long as a folder is manually shared by the owner,
contains at least one file, and permission is set to another user or
everyone with contributor, co-owner, owner rights or guest with read or
greater rights. Note: Sharing the folder sets everyone as read permission.

If 'guest' is added with 'read' permission with 'everyone' as 'read' it does
show up(adding guest automatically adds 'everyone with read' if one removes
'everyone')
Which seems to mean that as far as the search is concerned the guest with
read permission is treated differently than just everyone with read
permission.

To actually see the impact, the Network Sharing center created search
window needs to be refreshed(F5) or closed/reopened to update changes.
