Select the asset type to search within and then add keywords

In the search portlet, I would like the user to be able to filter by asset type before performing the search by keyword. For example, the user could enter the word "water", and then, from a checkboxes list of available asset types, choose the asset type to search within, for example, Blog entries. And that would search the word water in blog entries only (the user could choose more than one asset type). Perhaps it would be possible to add that behavior as a configuration option of the portlet.
