Just sent a demo multi database search tool to Jerry to have a look at and we are looking at collaborating in producing an article for it (downloadable version etc).
Similar to what other people have done - its an agent which does the Multi FT searches, sorts the order and then caches the result by serialising the results into a document - subsequent paging requests are instant.
I use injected JSON to allow the results to be used in any calling web page - there's no AJAX so no cross domain issues. The JSON data is a full object representation of each result so you can display how you feel fit. - I even include the URL to the database icon if that floats your boat.
The databases / forms & fields to return are all configuration documents so its completely reusable and the Lotusscript is full OO (thanks Mr Bill Buchan).
If your interested I can fire a copy across for you to have a look at.
