It's in the help for the search (?multi), though it should probably
have a full page devoted to it:

'// ========================================================
multi

MultiSearch
Perform multiple searches with a single command line expression.

superMultiModeEnabled can be set to true in localprefs.js to enable
super multi mode which allows different sets of searches to be done
(ie: multi search1 /firstParam; search2 search3 /secondParam)

superMultiModeSepChar can be set to a character in localprefs.js to
determine the split character for the super multi mode the default
value is ; 
Usage:
multi <search1> [<search2> [...]] <term> 

Example:

multi av gg wood planes -  Display the search results for wood
planes on altavista and google. 

multi fm;sf hs /new -  Display the new projects and files on
freshmeat, sourceforge, and hotscripts provided
superMultiModeEnabled is set to true in localprefs.js.
'// ======================================================== 

With over 300 searches you can easily expect to spend a year
learning each search, and making your own. I've committed over a
dozen searches I've made to DQSD and my own 'localsearches' folder
currently has 15 searches in it - most of them are for different
sites I work on, and I have a 'tester' search specifically for
helping to create new searches.

I think we ought to do a 'search a day' type thing where the fine
points of specific searches are detailed so people know what's
available to them. Is anyone interested in that? I'd cover the
searches I use myself first, of course. ;)
