Do you know any Web Search apps where you can specify more engines/websites at a time?

Question

Google is the Web Search engine that I use more often, but I would like to know if there are web apps were you can define a list of search engines or webisite you want to retrieve the data for, in a single shot.

The idea is to specify, for example, that I want retrieve the search results from:

• 10 top results from Google
• 10 from Bing
• 10 from Microsoft MSDN Forums
• 10 from Stack Overflow

Do you know something useful?
