Google.com does this, and Google makes search appliances
(http://www.google.com/appliance/), that can do this as well.  Be aware
that it may cost $32,000 for a 2 year license, though...
(http://www.google.com/appliance/faq.html#4)

Of course, if you want to go really cheap, you can use Google's free
site search: http://www.google.com/searchcode.html#both

I'm not aware of anything in the middle from Google.
