Hi

I've been looking for the solution for this myself and think i've got it 
cracked now.

As you mentioned earlier you can limit it one level deep by using the

tx_indexedsearch[sections] and rl1_pageid values.

I've just noticed playing in the Typoscript object browser there is an 
option that is set to off by default for Level 2 sections. Level 1 are 
set to on by default.

If you add the following to the setup of your root template

plugin.tx_indexedsearch.show.L2sections = 1

it'll allow you to do level 2 section searches. Just use rl2 instead of 
rl1 in your setup.

I have the search code directly in my html templates so it looks like 
this, but you could put it into your typoscript templates with the 
correct code.

<form action="index.php?id=9136" method="POST">
<input name="tx_indexedsearch[sword]" type="text" title="Enter a search 
word" value="" size="20">
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Go">
<input name="tx_indexedsearch[sections]" type="radio" value="rl2_83" 
checked>
<input name="tx_indexedsearch[sections]" type="radio" value="0">
</form>

Hope this helps/makes sense. Shout if it doesn't and I'll try to 
clarify. I've only just got to grips with the mailing list so hopefully 
this will go onto the previous post as a reply (I've always used forums 
in the past and this is a little 'different').

Good luck
Dave
