Multiple search fields are bad. I'd recommend one of the following approaches: 1) Default to a global search result page, but offering a dropdown between the keyword field and submit button where users can scope their search to a particualr section. The downside is users are likely to miss it. 2) Offer a field/submit persistently in the site header, which takes the user to a global search result page. One that page, categorize the results in a visually prominent manner and allow the user to refine their search more precisely from this level.
