    I'm a storyteller. I bookmarked a lot of sites with good stories and folktales. Whenever I need a story I have to search all those sites.

    I want to make a searchengine on my site specially for stories. So only the storysites I select will be searched. In google and other searchengies you can select only 1 site a time. "site:www.somestories.com mr fox" will search mr fox only on www.somestories.com.

    I need something that does something like "site:www.somestories.com,www.otherstories.com,www.morestories.com mr fox"

    I want to search all sites in one time. It will be some 100 sites at this moment. So I just want to have one input box and this is usen to search all those sites. How can I restrict one of the big searchengines to the sites I want?
    I think it's a bad idea to write a script that combines 100 separate queries to 1 page.

    Did somebody already do something like this?
    I don't want to program my own searchengine if I don't haven to.
    Can I use the big searchengines for this?

    Hope you can help me.

    To do what you propose, not only would you have to use the SEs, but you'd have to be one yourself. You'd be like Dogpile or MetaCrawler - both of which do what you describe on a smaller scale.

    Even if you had a script or wrote one, you don't have the processing resources it takes to sort and collate and return a hundred queries live.

    The only way you could possibly accomplish it is to screen-scrape the pages you like, cache them in a database of your own and write a script to 'fuzzy search' them all for certain keywords for your presentation.

    But it's a huge task you're looking at, no matter what.

    Go to GigaBlast.com and create a multi-site search engine with their technology. You can then use XML feeds to implement the search on your site.
