I'm replying to my own post with two sites that I found for doing
restricted db searches, in case anyone else is interested.

1) FASTA and TFASTA implementation by Don Gilbert at Indiana University. 

            <http://iubio.bio.indiana.edu:81/srsfasta/sfsectionsearch.html>

You can search one of the following db subsets:

arabidopsis      
caenorhabditis   
drosophila      
oryza            rice
poaceae          wheat,corn,rice and related
rattus           rat
murinae          rat,mouse and related
saccharomyces   


2) BLAST searches of fly sequence via the Berkley Drosophila Genome Project.
