well, why not add a dropdown (or even better a multi-select input) on the
search page where users can choose what to search in:

All (default)
Documentation
\_ Most Recent
\_ 8.2
\_ 8.1
\_...
Mailing Lists
\_ Beginners
\_ General
\_ Hackers
\_ ODBC
\_ ...

and so on...

or one could provide options to narrow search results by specifying
parameters to the search, for example "select query url:documentation/8.2"
would return only results whose paths contain the provided url parameter and
whose pages contain the words "select" and "query"...
