VinÃcius -
Certainly no problems understanding your English, so well done!
You can of course do this both ways at the same time. Have the search selector before the search field *and* give them a guided / faceted search interface on the results page. I think you would always show the guided / faceted search with results across all areas, but if they have selected a specific area (say 'books' on Amazon), that would be the focus of the main results listing. (BTW, Amazon *doesn't* do it this way - if you select 'books' you get just books. If you decide that you also want to see DVDs, you have to search again.)
