How to build an advanced search form by post type?

In your search form, add an input with name="post_type" and value="customposttypehere".

You can either have this as a hidden input or a text entry or a combobox or radio buttons etc, so long as it’s inside the search form.

The same is true for any other query vars like post_type etc that you would normally put in WP_Query
