Multiple search results from two different attribute sets

I am trying to create two different search pages and two different results pages based on products in specific attribute sets.

For discussion, I have two attribute sets, one called "AttributeSet1" and the other called "AttributeSet2."

One search page should only return results within AttributeSet1 and the other only products within AttributeSet2.

Any insight and/or resources to best accomplish without modifying core? Thank you in advance for the help.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the article you referenced deals more with filters in side navigation. I'm Looking to modify the quick search results to show products within in a predefined attribute set. Any idea how to accomplish this?

Ultimately, I'll have two search pages, one for tools, and one for machines. Each search will only return results in the same attribute sets.

You should probably rewrite model Mage_CatalogSearch_Model_Layer and work with the method prepareProductCollection. You should filter product collection by attribute set like this^

$collection->addAttributeToFilter('attribute_set_id','33'); // write the correct attribute set id

But you should choose which page is open now, I suppose each search page will have it's own URL:

Quote:

---

if ( strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "catalogsearch1") !== false ) // http://site.com/catalogsearch1/result/?q=test
{
$collection->addAttributeToFilter('attribute_set_id','33');
}
else if ( strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "catalogsearch2") !== false ) // http://site.com/catalogsearch2/result/?q=test
{
$collection->addAttributeToFilter('attribute_set_id','34');
}
