How to Google-search 2 sites

Have 2 domains as part of one site

Hello,

We have one site consisting of 2 domain names - without getting into too much detail let's say an info site is mysite.org, and a commercial/affiliate part is mysite.com.

Maybe a dumb question - how do I give users ability to search both sites at the same time? We have a Google searchbox on the site, and ideally I'd like an ability to send Google a query that looks something like this:

"searchterm site:(mysite.com OR mysite.org)" - but this doesn't work in Google.

Any suggestions?

Thanks kodaks,

Yeah, I know Gigablast can do it, the problem is Gigablast
(a) can't retrieve all pages from our site, and
(b) returns unsatisfactory results for any language but English,
so for the purpose of our sites it is useless.
So the verdict is "google can't do it"?

There's also this site called Scroogle dot org, one could scrape G$ results using them, and then merge them...but that would be a bit of a work (and no one likes work)
