searching via script, like google

[Rob 7 Collins]

I'd like to offer my users a search page, lookin kinda like this:

• Search

I want the search to look in many, many different places throughout my database. The only advantage I have is that all the tables to search are related. The search results should always be the same "top" records from the relations graph. The easiest way I could think of to do this is to have one layout with every field -- but I have subrecords and sub-subrecords so I would need something akin to a portal within a portal to see it from one layout.

Any suggestions how to go about doing this? Super-simple, silly sample file attached... in this file, I want a layout with two search fields (possible add your own tables), a script to handle the searching and return the user to the found set of gods, the top level.
