You could extract the search parameters if you wanted to.  That topic
has been discussed several times, with various solutions if you search
the mail list archives.

Another method, in your case, could be to simply use this sort of code
on your results page:

    [if-item-field pre_release == 1]
        This item has not been released.
    [/if-item-field]

If you do that then they will see the pre-release note, for the
appropriate items, even if they use a keyword search.
