Google have significantly improved their Google Co-Op tagged\focussed search capability at some stage recently so that it is now a lot better. I gave it a twirl to see what it could do and created a UMSF themed (but not restricted) Co-Op search page by pulling out a small subset of my bookmarks:

Space Flight and Exploration Search

At the moment the basic search includes the following:
www.unmannedspaceflight.com
ntrs.nasa.gov
orca.phys.uvic.ca
www.lpl.arizona.edu
pubs.giss.nasa.gov
athena1.cornell.edu
www.spacedaily.com
www.badastronomy.com
www.nasa.gov
www.isas.ac.jp
www.federalspace.ru
marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov
pluto.jhuapl.edu
messenger.jhuapl.edu
saturn.jpl.nasa.gov
www.esa.int
marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov
hiroc.lpl.arizona.edu
www.astro.cornell.edu
www.planetary.org

I've also added two "refinements" that allow for drilling in to unmannedspaceflight.com only (this is the same as a google search with site:unmannedspaceflight.com added but it might be useful to have a "UMSF and Related sites" option) and also an attempt to get an unmannedspaceflight.com images search that isn't working right.

Any suggestions on sites to add? remove?

It seems to work quite well for me but I wont really be able to tell until I'm actually going looking for something that I'm finding hard to locate.
