Jahia already indexes in Lucene all the different fields separately. So you can perfectly already search objects by a certain field or according ot a certain definition.
If you want ot search against some metadata you will need of course the metadata support ;-). BTW you may already test an advanced search form with support of metadata in the development nightly build of Jahia 4.5 available here: http://cvspub.jahia.org/nightly-build/2005-06/
By default Jahia filters the search results according to the mode you are using (edit, live,...). So making a search in edit does not display the same results than in live mode. Now if you want to display all possible results both in edit and live mode simultaneoulsy, you will have to modify this default filter in Jahia. But all the information are already indexed in Lucene whatever their mode.

We have some requirements which may be satisfied by Jahia 4.5 or what do you think about:
1 The user will be able to do a search on all different fields provided. For example published by, edited by, title, containing text, image text.
2 The search result will include both published and unpublished materials with a clear indication of what is published and what is not.
3 The user will be able to do a free text search including Meta tags. The search result will include both published and unpublished materials with a clear indication of what is published and what is not.
4 The user will be able search for everything published on a specific date or period.
I think the user must be some active user because he/she must be able to se not published material.
