By default the All Sites scope includes All Content. The problem arises if you add exclusions (URL matches) to this and select another scope.
I'd like to restrict them to single scope searches if possible but this isn't as easy as I'd hoped.

Because the Advanced Search web part allows them to pick multiple scopes they tend to select them all, just to be safe, even though one of them is called "All Sites"! In doing so, they receive the error: "Your search cannot be completed because of a service error. Try your search again or contact your administrator for more information." I know why this is happening [http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointsearch/thread/fb78decc-aeb5-4c04-bb75-473c25f8c11d/] but am not sure of the best approach to rectify it. I'd originally added some JavaScript to the page via a CEWP to uncheck the selected scope when another selection was made but this wasn't ideal. Aside from educating end users, are there any other suggestions?
