I was looking for house plans and can't seem to find exactly what I am
looking for. Is there a search engine for house plans out there where
I can plug in the specs and it will spit out all the plans that match?

Or, if that doesn't exist, how much would it cost to drop off my specs
with someone and have them show me a handful of plans for me to choose
from?

Yeah, pretty much any town will probably have a freelance residential
designer who can take your specs and produce a set of plans for you,
assuming you don't live in an area where enclosed porches and sheds require
an AIA stamp to pull a permit. Call your local custom builders and ask who
does their design work, or ask people whose houses you like who did the
design. House is a big investment, and no two people have the same
requirements. Get a design that matches what you want, not what somebody
else wanted.

(standard disclaimer- my old man is in the design business, so I have seen
what a good designer can do even for people on cookie cutter budgets.)
