AFAIR, isearch+ can do this out of the box.
Isearch itself needs some help: You would first have to mark the
region(s) to treat yourself - using hi-lock for example, or something
even more basic (text properties or overlays). And then use an
according `isearch-filter-predicate' to limit isearch operations to
these regions.
