After adding a new Portal Site we have found the "search" is listing contents from all portals. This is a medium Server Farm which we are attempting to do searches at a site level on down instead of searching all sites. I'll be glad to answer any questions. Can anyone give me some direction?

Search can be customized to include whatever content you wish to be crawled and also has the ability to create new scopes and source groups that defines what results each search query will return. I therefore suggest you have a look at creating some new content sources and also search scopes. With the addition of having included and excluded content in those content sources you can setup have very accurate search result options.
Have a look at this whitepaper for a good introduction to this:

Also have a read of the search section in the Administrator guide:
