Instead of manually checking various cities and then looking at the rates, are there any travel or flight search sites that would allow me to 1) enter my arrival/departure dates and 2) enter my price range, and return the results? Kind of like in the movies where the distraught lover goes to the Greyhound station and asks, “How far will this get me?” Thanks!

ETA: I found [this site](http://flightchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/), but it only seems to be Europe-based, whereas I would prefer something from the US.

I have no idea, but I have wondered the same thing myself a few times. I am also curious to hear if there is anything available.
