Actually as you've described your search form, it's probably using a
restrict to one OR the other. But it's a little hard to be sure
without seeing the form (and knowing that you're using a recent
version of ht://Dig).

Probably the easiest way to do this is either with a small shell or
Perl wrapper or using JavaScript in the page itself. If I understand
you correctly, you want:
&restrict=task1&restrict=doc_type2
=> &restrict=task1/doc_type2
Since this is site-specific, it's probably easiest to have the
wrapper go through and "edit" the query on-the-fly before it passes
it off to htsearch.
