Since there are suggestions for enhanced search dating a few years back, and the search function hasn't changed since, I'll try to suggest a simple 'search filtering' option, where the catagory menu appears at the search result page, and by making a catagory selection, only results from this catagory are shown.

For advanced searching capabilties, use the "edit view" functionality (which will allow you to exactly what you ask). Or Google.
