Sorry, Geoff, could you better explain this point, plz?

Ok, but in this case I could use the restrict option in a php wrapper.
e.g. I have just one db and a List/Menu in which I can choose "site1" "site2"
or "site3". When I press "Go", my page sends the choice to a new php file in
which a switch instruction let me choose on which site I need to use the
restrict option...
If I use a php wrapper, are there different reasons that I don't know (on this
subject) about why I need to use multiple database? :-?

Also this point is a little bit obscure. Could you better explain this subject?

:-) Sorry, U R right. Well, I use a php wrapper to let people search in 3
different subtrees of our site. For each kind of search I use different
restrict/exclude options and 3 different conf files. Though I don't really need
3 conf files (2 of them are alike), I choose this way 'cause I thought that I
could need all of them in the future. They differ just in the
option "allow_in_form". Now the question is: Do I need a new conf file just for
digging?

Right! Unfortunately my reality belong to the worse case :-) The pages of our
site haven't properly titles and they have no meta keywords, so what do U think
about my choice? Any suggests?
Thank you very much.
