You can narrow the buffer to the region: `C-x n n', then search: `C-s'. When
you are done, you can widen the buffer: `C-x n w'.
Otherwise, I don't think it's possible to tell `C-s' to limit itself to the
region.
An alternative, which does limit search to the region (if it is active and
non-empty): `C-`' in Icicles:
