Multisite search engine project for large public library
Cleveland Public Library (http://www.cpl.org) is moving to a large (20+) multisite Drupal installation. We need someone to create a way for end users to search across *all* of the sites seamlessly, so that someone can not only search all of the content of all of the sites, but those sites can be initiated from any given search box across the multisite installation. The search results must use the core Drupal search functionality, so that results are brought up and ranked properly. We have experimented with the OpenSearch modules, but have not been successful in getting what we need. We would be open to those modules, however, if someone wanted to modify them to match our requirements.
If possible, we would also like to have search results pull in data from two non-Drupal systems: our online catalog (http://search.clevnet.org) and our eMedia system (http://dlc.clevnet.org). This would be a great addition, but searches cannot be performed directly on the databases in these instances (only by feeding a keyword string into the URL). If this step is something you feel you can undertake, please include it in your proposal.
We are accepting proposals until May 4th, 2007 (or until filled). Please provide 1) your contact information, 2) at least 3 references for your work with Drupal, and 3) a brief cost estimate. Please send your proposal to me via my personal contact form, as well as any questions you might have.

Google's Co-op search
I know you have a requirement of:
but one way I do know you could achieve searching multiple sites from one search box is to use Google's Co-op service.

isnt that depending on the speed, google is indexing your site?
i wouldnt rely on google on that cause it can take forever til it got indexed.

This project is now closed
We hired someone to do this already. Thank you for all inquiries.
We need this multisite
We need this multisite search functionality as well.
Would CPL consider making this module they've developed availble to the drupal community ?
The developer told us they would release it at some point
But we are still working some kinks out (site just went live), so you might want to wait a bit anyway. Overall, it does work though. Send me a private message if you'd like to contact the developer directly.
Code *will* be released to the Drupal community
The developer (BPO Canada) and Cleveland Public Library have agreed to release the code to the Drupal community in the very near future. Keep your eyes open!

multisite search fail
I try to use the module in a multisite installation.
but instead subsites ex.
http://mainsite.com
http://sitea.mainsite.com
http://siteb.mainsite.com
I use new domains names not subdomains ex.
http://comunidad.cav.sld.cu
http://gescon.cav.sld.cu
http://caed.cav.sld.cu
when i try to configure the module i get this error
* user warning: Table 'comunidad.multisite_drupal_search_sites' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM multisite_drupal_search_sites ORDER BY site_id in /data/hostin/comunidad/sites/all/modules/multisite_search/multisite_search.module on line 92.
* user warning: Table 'comunidad.multisite_drupal_search_sites' doesn't exist query: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM multisite_drupal_search_sites ORDER BY site_id in /data/hostin/comunidad/sites/all/modules/multisite_search/multisite_search.module on line 93.
I found the tables
com_multisite_drupal_search_dataset
com_multisite_drupal_search_index
com_multisite_drupal_search_sites
com_multisite_drupal_search_total
if I rename it to
multisite_drupal_search_dataset
multisite_drupal_search_index
multisite_drupal_search_sites
multisite_drupal_search_total
I added in the main domain the other domains and run the cron.
it found some word (not all) of the other sites but the link malfunction, i mean the link has the right domain name but erroneous param.
Can i use this module to do that
