Morphology
unsearchable = searchable (transparent) = un + search + able
Formed by negating the clearly derived adjective 'searchable' (search + -able), so the negated meaning is straightforward.
Etymology
The word unsearchable comes from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the word search meaning 'to look for'. So it paints a picture of something you cannot find, explore, or discover, which is why unsearchable means 'impossible to search or discover'.
