I'd never even noticed the advanced search feature until you just  
mentioned it! FWIW, I'd be happy with just the plain search input box  
over on the top right (no 'advanced', no 'within'). The simpler the  
better, given our target audience. Every UI feature you can get away  
with removing... is one less item of distraction/confusion/ 
maintenance :-)
