Q:

In Chrome, is there a way to search only within my bookmarked sites?

I'm not trying to search for a bookmark - I'm trying to search for a term that may appear on one of my bookmarked sites. 
For instance, if I wanted to search on the term "Obama" and restrict my query to the New York Times web site, I know I could type this into the main URL/Search bar in Chrome:
obama site:nytimes.com
I'm wondering if there's a way to change that so that it's effectively:
obama site:any one of the sites in my Chrome bookmark folder
Thanks in advance for your help!

I just released a Google Chrome extension called SearchMark that will do exactly what you want. Hope you find it useful.

You may use the browser-based Historio.us.
This is what makeuseof.com says in Historious Takes Bookmarks To The Next Level:

The idea behind Historious is simple.
  Instead of storing bookmarks in
  folders, they’re all individually
  indexed; just like Google does with
  the whole of the internet, to create
  your personalized search world. This
  search engine, which can be used in
  every browser, across computers,
  allows you to search both by title and content of the indexed pages.
Historious works across browsers by
  bookmarklet. A bookmarklet is a
  (regular) bookmark that executes a bit
  of Javascript code. You’ll be able to
  add it to your bookmarks bar after
  you’ve completed (free) registration.
  Alternatively, there’s also a Google
  Chrome extension. This works exactly
  the same as the bookmarklet, and
  nothing keeps you from using the
  extension on one computer and the
  bookmarklet on another.

It seems Google has a custom search you can point to your bookmarks file.  From their doc, "Here's a quick and easy way to create a search engine from the links on your web page":

The way I use it, I have to export my bookmarks from xbel to an .html file, but that's a useful thing to have anyway.  (Especially since I haven't found a Chrome equivalent to Galeon's "My Portal").
