I looking into a search functionality to provide a “search within  
results” option.

Not sure how to go about it. Any ideas?

I’m looking for way to do this too actually. Except that I don’t have  
actual need for it yet 🙂

I guess if you are using something like thinking sphinx, you could  
just append current search keywords with new search keywords and do  
another sphinx search. Just a thought.

Cheers!
