This is build in to the core search module. Look at the advanced search page.

You need to give your users access to advanced search through permissions.

There are a few modules available which will let you customize the available functionality on the advanced search page. Browse through the list of search related modules.

Assuming Drupal 6 go to example.com/search and look for advanced search. It should be right under the (simple) search form.

Here your users can build more advanced queries including limiting the search to specific content types. This is also available on the search result page you get after each performed search.

Just remember to give your users access to advanced search under example.com/admin/user/permissions and as I wrote in my first comment there are modules which let you configure what options are available under advanced search.

Have a look through the search modules. A solution may already be there.

If not I think a combination of theme and a module that invokes form_alter on the search form would do the trick.

There might even be a recipe for this in the Documentation section of this site. Look for How-to, module snippets, theme snippets and similar.
