If you want this ability for one-off searches, you can use the OR operator. site:http://news.ycombinator.com http://news.ycombinator.com OR site:stackoverflow.com <query> I don't know if there's a max # of sites you can add. I tried it with three and it seemed to work great. http://www.google.com/search?q=site:searchengineland.com+OR+site:ninebyblue.com+vanessa+fox#sclient=psy&q=site%3Aninebyblue.com+OR+site%3Asearchengineland.com+OR+site%3Aradar.oreilly.com+%22vanessa+fox%22&fp=649be7798417a8e0 http://www.google.com/search?q=site:searchengineland.com+OR+... (Yes, I did an ego search. Isn't that the best way to know if the results are likely accurate? :) If there's a set of sites you want to search through often, you can set up a custom search engine for what you describe. For instance, see this page: http://www.toddnemet.com/ http://www.toddnemet.com/

I've tried that [before], but with multiple parameters, I simply got zero results. I then enclosed the site:foo OR site:bar within parentheses, leaving the rest of the query outside parentheses. Whichever site:foo came first would be matched, but only it appeared to be matched. Subsequent site:bar, etc. parameters did not produce any matches in the results. I'll have a look at your links, in a minute -- probably should have done that first. EDIT: Well, your second link sure works. I wonder what I was doing wrong. When I saw someone else('s or s') comments online to the effect that it didn't work, I assumed that was why my own experience failed. I'm in serious need of some coffee, at the moment. Thanks for correcting my mis-impression; I look forward to straightening it out in my mind and taking advantage of this feature.

  It could be that you were using a lowercase or. It has to be all caps OR. (lowercase or just uses "or" as one of the search terms, which I think actually is considered a stop word and is then ignored.) And I'm always a supporter of the more coffee recommendation.
