Refining the Google CSE results with inurl

When you add the Google CSE search form to a page by default it returns results from 'all' of eclipse.org. But what if you just want to get all of the results from the newsgroups? Well there is only one choice that is simple,easy and clean, you add the following hidden input type to the search form:

<input type="hidden" name="hq" value="inurl:eclipse.org.site/directory">

By altering the value of the url that follows the 'inurl' you can set what sites and subsections of eclipse.org sites your results are filtered by. Best of all this field is sticky so if you keep searching on the results page, the new results will still have the same filter applied.
