If I got you correct you want to create a file like this:
== directories-to-search ==
project1/
project2/
project3/
Then you want Vim to read the lines and grep each folder which was
listed in it?
let name = input("the word to grep for :")
for folder in readfile("directories-to-search")
exec 'vimgrepadd '.fnameescape(folder)..' '.fnameescape(folder).'/**/*'
endfor
Put it into a function and map that.
