Is there a way to bound a search within specific TOC items?

Is there a way to bound a search that I'm missing? Can't figure out why major types don't appear in the search tab's drop down for content types (e.g "Full Text Search", "Tools and Utilities Reference", SQL Server Programming Reference"). Seems anything appearing in the TOC should be a candidate for bounding a search.

Also, anyway to perform subsequent search that is bounded to a prior search result.

No, you're not missing anything, and, unfortunately, there's no mechanism to perform a subsequent search bounded by the prior search results either (as you can in SQL Server 2000 BOL).

I've forwarded your post to the team that is compiling a list of search-related improvements for the next release.

One thing you should be aware of is that the default behavior of search uses an OR operator. To help limit the number of topics returned, you can change this behavior to use AND by selecting Tools | Options and clearing the checkbox for "Include partial matches in local search results".

Microsoft also has a site that allows customers to directly request features - this would be a great place for that. You can find the link here:
