I've done something like this by using a search profile.  Something like 
this should work.

[set mysearch_profile]
   fi=products
   st=text
   ml=25
   so=category
   se=[filter word [cgi searchparam]]
   op=rm
   cs=no
   su=yes
[/set]

Then use a form like this:

<form action="[area search]">
   <INPUT type="hidden" name="mv_search_page" 
value="your_search_results_page">
   <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_profile" VALUE="mysearch_profile">
   <INPUT MAXLENGTH=30 NAME=searchparam type=text size=10>
   <input type="image" alt="Search Go" border="0" 
src="__THEME_IMG_DIR__go.gif">
</form>

The search profile can also be set up in the catalog.cfg

Hope this helps,
