I'd say multi-country searches in Europe are not easy, not even when there's a strong connection among them (typically DACH region, also Iberia, Czech Republic + Slovakia or Baltics come to mind). Usually searchers: 1) focus in the big country with occassional incursions in the others, or 2) target them sequentially, but this is not a very tested approach yet.
