[wp-hackers] Restrict search results?

[Paul Menard]

This actually brings up something I read some time ago (early 2008)  
that WordPress would be including Pages in searches. My apologies but  
I don't know if these ever made it into a official release.

For Categories and Tags there are some very nice taxonomy related  
settings:

category__in, category__not_in, category__in, category__not_in,  
category__and, tag__in, tag__not_in, tag__and

These can be easily used in the case of a search or whatever. I  
actually use them heavily for a plugin I wrote earlier Simply Exclude  
But for Pages one has to jump through some ugly action code to  
manipulate the SQL query itself. Ugly ugly stuff.

So for Pages it would be nice to have a similar set of settings like
page__in, page__not_in
