When we were actually indexing the python.org archives with our
donated Ultraseek server (donated because they used Python), we could
set up different search sets.  The default set (I believe) did the
same thing -- it separated the web hits from the archive hits.
Advanced searches had the ability to pick and choose which search sets
would be included, so you /could/ search both the web and archives,
just one, or the other, etc.
