Olivier,
If I understand your problem correctly, you need to use the pipe (|) to
link the various conf files in your search form. I use a dropdown list to
allow users to select the whole site, or just a subsection. Here is how I
string multiple conf files together in the search form:
<option value="conf1|conf2|conf3">entire site
If you want to see a working example, look at:
