Probably the airline's website directly is the best option. Any airline's website will allow you to search for "multi-city" tickets. I fly a lot for work so I book a lot of travel. I always check expedia.com or orbitz.com or one of those sites, and see which airline has the cheapest flights. Then, I go to that airline's website and pick the exact same flights, and more than 99% of the time I get the exact same fare. Except, most of those websites charge a "booking fee" of $5 or more so it's actually cheaper through the airline. And many airlines guarantee that you will get the cheapest fare through their own website. I know American Airlines does this and probably most others do also.
Also, many of the "low-fare" airlines (Southwest, JetBlue) do not list their fares on those websites so you actually have to go to the airline's websites. However, most of the time I find those airlines to be at least as expensive as other airlines.

Look it up on orbitz and priceline and websites like that they have always seemed to show pretty reasonable prices especially when u take a 1 or two stop flight. Another tip with this is to go directly to the airlines websites shortly after midnight on tuesdays. This is when airlines release their tickets. Check to find an airline that has many flights to where or from you want to go and it is likely you can find a good deal on that airlines website. good luck
