I've seen them called so many things (we call them "granny flats" here), but on realtor.com you can search for 'multi-family units', which will include for instance: a house with a single apartment inside it, or a house with an apartment over the garage, or a house converted to apartments, or a pair of townhouses together, that sort of thing.
We have stone buildings on our farm, including a stable and a woodshed, and we wanted to convert one to a studio apartment for our oldest daughter. The builder came out and suggested -- strongly-- that we just leave it be and build a cottage such as d_Random linked to: easier and cheaper, he said, but the cottages start at about 10K once you've included electric and a bathroom, and furnishing. Still, an extension would cost us about 30K. (yikes!)
If you can find a house already set up, that's definitely the easier, and in this market probably cheaper, option. Good luck finding it!
