  This is how I would try it with one search page. There are options for images, albums, news and pages to be searched. As with all options you can temporarily or permanently set them to something else.
  http://www.zenphoto.org/documentation/functions/_functions-basic.php.html#functionsetOption
  
  These are the option names for the four search items:
  search_no_albums, search_no_news, search_no_pages, search_no_images
  
  You would have to temporarily set this on the page type you have the search page and then probably have to make a custom searchform that appends a GET or POST statement so that the search page "knows" (as temporatily set options vanish on the search page naturally) that it has to set the options as well. Or you could check from what page you came using the HTTP referrer maybe.
  
  Or you set the options permanently and reset them on the search page after the results (of course then the search there would be for all types again).
  
  Sounds like a good idea to have this as a parameter for the search form (you can already limit search to one or more specific album btw). Please open a ticket as well.
  
  Splitting would be an easy way but you would need custom search forms as well.

  As a parameter it would be easier but for now I will try you suggestions. Thanks.

  Probably 1.3.2 will have an easier way for this (might require theme changes though).
