We have one that lets the user choose between searching our website or the library catalog. It was pretty easy to set up, and would be easier if you didn't give folks the choice to search the website. We made it very simple by making it always do a keyword search and always search our scope. We then provided a link called "advanced search" for folks that wanted more options. You can see it at http://forbeslibrary.org/
