Maybe something like this local page that you bookmark:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script>
  function fix(){
    var field=document.getElementById('searchTerm');
    field.value+=" site:danwalsh.livejournal.com"
  }
</script>
<body>
  <form  name="input"
	action="https://google.com"
	method="get"
	onsubmit="fix()">
  Search: <input type="text" id="searchTerm" name="q">
	 <input type="submit" value="Submit">
  </form>
</body>
</html>

or use a functionally equivalent javascript in greasemonkey
