extending the lucene example

Hi,

I want to extend the lucene example to include more
"advanced" search capabilities. Currently, I have
search functionality that is based of the Lucene
example using a customized search generator (similar
to the included search generator). I also index my
docs using a custom indexer (not the indexer included
with cocoon) At this point, searching and indexing
seems to work fine. 

I have certain fields in my lucene documents that I
want to narrow searching on. For example, I want to be
able to specify that the search should only return
hits for documents that have lucenefield="special
value 1" or something similar. I envision the user
being able to select this "special value" from a drop
down box or something similar. So my question is, from
the cocoon side of things, what is the best way to set
up the form and pass the value of the field the user
selected to the search generator (i would have to pass
it to the search generator right?)

Im interested in the best practices way of doing this.
If anyone has done something similar and wants to
share their configuration, that would be great too.

Thanks a lot.
