Mark, Live search was originally in the plugin for 0.5.x, but I removed it because I didn't need it and I thought most people wouldn't either.
As far as searching sections of the site, that proves much more challenging than a simple search because you have to do joins or filter the results after the fact. (It is do-able, but maybe this is a PDI.) Excepting the title, breadcrumb and slug, all of the real content is stored in models associated with the page, so you are really searching through page-parts. If Radiant were using a nested-set organization for the page/sitemap structure instead of a tradtional tree-list, scoping a search would be easier.
