You can use the restrict CGI parameter to restrict your search in the
database.
You have: <site>/x
<site>/y
<site>/z
make an option in the search page like
search only: <SELECT NAME="restrict">
<OPTION VALUE="<site>/x">X</OPTION>
..
<OPTION VALUE=<site>/x|<site>/Y>X and Y</OPTION>
</SELECT>
Note the | sign. It's used to concatenate two or more items
Note however that you are using one and the same configuration file
so output markup and things are the same.
