Hey gang,
Ever wanted a custom root node for a listing, but didn't want your assets to get lots of URLs/lineages in the wrong place? Well, a little known tip is that you can create an asset and then remove it's web path. Anything linked under that asset won't get a URL at that location. So, you can create custom root nodes, link assets from other locations, but they'll still print their "real" URL in a list!

I do love this trick, it has helped me many times!

Now what would be even more awesome, would be if the search asset would not find assets without a webpath! 
I guess that is why there is asset tree weighting, so you can make a "Nested Content" folder.
