If I wanted to create a search to find a term on several different webpages, how would I write the query?

Let's say I wanted to search multiple sites for an investor relations section:

If i wanted to find the investor relations section of one company, I would simply perform the query as follows:

site:dell.com "investor relations"

What about if I want to search both dell and IBM for their investor relations section? I know that i could perform two seperate searches, but what I'd like to do is be able to search 10 or 15 different web pages for a specific term or terms.

I was able to easily create the search phrase using MSN search by doing the following, but can't figure out what to do with Google?

(site:ibm.com OR site:dell.com) "investor relations"

Using MSN, i can add another several companies by simply adding the or command and additional sites. The problem is that the MSN search is not nearly as inclusive and comprehensive as the Google search.

Any help with this would be awesome!

Try that (same) way but without parenthesis:

site:dell.com OR site:IBM.com OR site:HP.com "investor relations"
