How about a pair of macros that set `query_command' to point to the right
query utility and then make a call to <query>? For example:
,----
| macro index "B" "<enter-command>set query_command=\"query1 '%s'\"\n<query>"
| macro index "\eB" "<enter-command>set query_command=\"query2 '%s'\"\n<query>"
`----
So Shift-B will search using the "query1" tool and Esc-Shift-B will search
using the "query2" tool.
Or, if you want a single query to go query more than one source you should
grab lbdb and use that. It's pretty trivial to add new modules to it so that
it can query any database you've got to hand (I wrote one for pulling email
address details from a Palm database for example).
