[development] Multiple search blocks doing different searches.

[Ronan Berder]

The question would be; what is it exactly that you are trying to search? If
you just want a few separate search blocks that search within a certain
content type, you may find interesting defining a View for it, creating
several displays for each content type you wish to be searchable and
exposing the "Search: Search Terms" filter. You then can set up the "Exposed
form in block: " setting to true (in "Basic Settings") and you should then
have the search forms showing in separate blocks. You can then compose by
adding filters or exposed filters your own way (on content types, taxonomy
or whatever you wish to let user search by or within).
