unfortunately the logic of this search uses the layer name as key for
the object. So the second definition overwrites the first. I haven't
thought of this. One could of course put the layer name inside the array
and modify the Javascript that creates the search form. And with pmapper
1 you could again use the old (and a bit more complicated) definition of
search, replacing the new files with old ones.
I am still planning to offer an alternate definition for more complex
searches, especially - but not only - for PostGIS layers. Probably with
definitions of all parameters via XML. But this may take some time, I
have to admit...

This is described in the comments in the file js_custom.php:
"* you can specify more than one field for search by separating the
search fields with a double ampersand &&"
And there is a commented example:
searchList['images'] = new Array('<?php echo _p("Images")?>',
'#sat_id&&acq_year', '<?php echo _p("Satellite") ?>&&<?php echo
_p("Acqusition Year") ?>','');
I use it, so it should work.
