Adding search to a site

following up old WW thread

I just came across the excellent info from Sept 5, 2003 at:
[webmasterworld.com...]

(the thread had a time limitation so I could not add my question directly).

bill, the Forum 32 Moderator, offered this piece of code for adding a search feature to a site:

<form method="GET" action="http://www.google.com/search"> 
<input type="hidden" name="domains" value="webmasterworld.com"> 
<input TYPE="text" name="q" size="25" maxlength="255" value> 
<input type="submit" name="btnG" value="Google"><input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="webmasterworld.com" checked> 
webmasterworld.com <input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value>www 
</form>

Does anyone know if multiple sites can be searched simultaneously using that format?

Something like this for example:

<input type="hidden" name="domains" value="domain1.com,domain2.com,domain3.com,domain4.com">

Then down below something like:

<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="All" checked>

I tried various combinations without luck -- if anyone knows if it's possible, I'd appreciate the correct method. Thanks...

Thanks kodaks. Am assuming the reply by RonPK is still the final word on the subject.... "AFAIK you cannot do a site search at Google for multiple domains."

If anyone knows of any way to search multiple defined domains simultaneously, the info would be appreciated...

Giogablast has a nice "roll your own search engine" function.
Google for that. I use it on my site, very nice.
You insert some code on one of your pages, or make up a new page just
for that. Inside the code you put a list of URLs for sites you like. - Larry

Wow! That is awesome -- thank you larryhatch. Kudos to Gigablast for this great feature. I can hardly believe the "Big 3" haven't jumped on this idea. If anyone following this thread wants to do the same thing, it can be found at:

I stand corrected... That's pretty interesting and useful. Thanks!
