[support] Search Tool question

[LESLIE FRIESEN]

Hi, everyone,
 
In preparation of Phase II of our website redesign, I have a question
regarding searching tools.  Say a person wants to search for "permit" on
the website, hoping to find information regarding a driveway access
permit. Right now, the search results bring up not only that info, but
every time the word "permit" has been mentioned in any way, shape or
form for the last ten years * including an obscure reference found in
the middle of .pdf minutes from old commission meetings, etc. The list
results maybe ten pages long and only a few references are actually
relevant. I have to find a way to limit the search results to only
webpages that are truly about permits.  Does that make sense? I often
see "native language" search tools, but not "drill down" type of tools.
Is there a way to control what types of information is included in the
search results -- say, only actual nodes and not published documents or
images?
 
Thanks very much in advance,

BTW, we are using Drupal 6.15
