How about something like this...?

In your local/config.php, set

    $SearchPatterns['default']['resgroup'] = '!^RestrictedGroup\.!';

This sets the default search to not include any pages in RestrictedGroup.

Then in local/RestrictedGroup.php, set

    $SearchPatterns['default']['resgroup'] = '/^RestrictedGroup\./';

This changes the setting made in local/config.php so that the
search default searches for pages *only* in the RestrictedGroup.

This won't work when we redirect searches to a central Site.Search
page (because local/RestrictedGroup.php isn't loaded then), but
we can probably deal with that issue then.
