looking for a basic meta-search function

i'm not trying to compete with google here or anything, so there is no need for anyone to get defensive (i noticed a bit of that with questions related to mine); i simply have three different library catalogs (they are open and public so there are no permission concerns) that i want to search simultaneously - a simple key word search and then display the number of hits for each of the three libraries in a PHP/Python Plone environment. I do not need the results listed or any other details - just "X hits at library 1, Y hits at library 2, and Z hits at library 3"

I'm just starting this project so my first question is along the lines of "what information do I need to gather to build this search function?"

my second question, with a more involved answer that doesn't necessarily need to be answered right away (feel free to use pseudo-code and fill-in-the-blanks) is "what would the script look like?"
