Issue Summary
Excellent Module! and IMHO it should be included in Drupal core as an option in search module.
I have 3 small feature requests:
1) Allow Admins to customise the names of content types that currently are simply imported from elsewhere. Would be great to have a little textbox next to each option in the search settings, where we could input custom names. So for example if a site is using "About me" as a content type for profiles, it would make more sense if searchers would see "Profiles". And similarly, it would make more sense if people would see plural "Groups", "Blogs", "Articles", rather than simply "Group", "Blog", "Article"
2) Allow admins to set the search-type dropdown between the search input field and the search button. So some people light like to see:
[core search input field] in [search-type] [search-button]
3) Allow admins to customize the label -- so that instead of "Search for:" they can put "in" or "within" for example, or nothing at all. (of course it should still pass through t( ) for multilingual sites )

Love this module! One feature would be amazing though, as I haven't found a way to do this with existing solutions...if anyone knows how tell me!
For example, add another selector box that is populated with the cck fields of the content type you select...so for example I could go:
Search by:
Car and then by color, textfield ___"Red"
So then only content type of cars, with "red" as the color would appear. I know you can expose these fields with views, but it would be prettier and easier to search multiple content types by having a selector box that would populate from the original choice...something like filtergroups, but that works a little better.
Great module tho!
