In a generalized searching problem, a set $S$ of $n$ colored
geometric objects has to be stored in a data structure, such
that for any given query object $q$, the distinct colors of
the objects of $S$ intersected by $q$ can be reported
efficiently. In this paper, a general technique is presented
for adding a range restriction to such a problem. The technique
is applied to the problem of querying a set of colored points
(resp.\ fat triangles) with a fat triangle (resp.\ point).
For both problems, a data structure is obtained having size
$O(n^{1+\epsilon})$ and query time $O((\log n)^2 + C)$.
Here, $C$ denotes the number of colors reported by the query,
and $\epsilon$ is an arbitrarily small positive constant.
