The idea is for something similar to the way that Google's advanced search allows you to search within a domain, but we would want to search within several domains (even if all the program did was tell Google to search term x on domain y then term x on domain z and then compiled the results, that would be sufficient).  Does anyone know of a program that does this?  Or, if there is an online web search that could be customized this way and the settings saved with a password, that would be a good start. Thanks in advance.

I made a tool last fall that will generate a bookmarklet or a JavaScript search form to search the domains you specify. It uses Yahoo. You can try it at
