advanced search

Hi I want to know is there any way to create book based search.
If i have two books of content type book and want to set up a search which should be book based that is it should have filter where we can select book1 and book2.
As this need comes because in both the books there are some similar content and when
user is searching then the results are showing from both the books.
I tried several modules but all are Content Type based search provider and not book based.

I am building a site for a friend's on-the-web radio programs, and would welcome recommendations for how to improve upon Drupal core's basic search function, which is too literal for my purposes.

Is it better to add a Google search box, or are there modules you recommend and use? The best I can find is Fuzzysearch, but for D7 it is still in development.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My thoughts are that the new Quickstart 3.0 should eventually:

1) support the semi-automatic download of a number of demonstration websites to help learn Drupal (synergy with Drupal Ladder?);
2) provide a better mechanism than the existing Modules installation page for locating a desired module tar.gz link;
3) provide some assistance with upgrading the Drupal core by providing guidance on database backup and migrate;
4) support the concept of optional tool sets to keep the initial download smaller and allow staged learning of tools.

I am using Drupal 6 and I'm looking to answer two questions. First, the scenario:

I have a project where there are a handful of search terms that we want to "take control of" and insert logic to either prioritize results or redirect users off of the search page and onto a specific page. For most other searches, we just let the Drupal search process continue as normal.

I am looking for a way to add the month and year to the Advanced Search function. This would search the Authored On date for matching records. This should also allow search by a Category, such as Sports. Even though this seems like a rudimentary thing, it doesn't appear to be a very straightforward thing to accomplish. I have looked and looked, but can't find the solution.
