Hi Ian,

The documentation for indexed_search is indeed very poor, and virtually 
none existing. But if you look at the code indexed_search generates you 
can easily adapt this to filter on a certain section.

So first enable advanced search to see all possible options:
plugin.tx_indexedsearch {

   show {
     advancedSearchLink = 1
   }
}

Then take a close look at the advanced search form and add the options 
you need to your search form.
