Instead of attempting to modify the existing search, and assuming your have
master tag for classes, you could make your own search based on the TOC
macro:
<$macrocall $name="toc" tag="TableOfContents"
sort="search{$:/temp/search}"/>
You would change TableOfContents to whatever you're root tag is of course.
This uses the "sort" attribute to sneak in search criteria, using the
existing search box.
