You might want to provide some better resources to identify the words.
You request is a little confusing and, I couldn't find the words you provided.

Maybe you mis-typed them.
 
I don't know about Miyazaki dialect but found on the net that てげよだきい (tege yodakii) means "very much a bother" when one is not willing to do something.
てげ tege means very, really, awfully よだきい is a bother, pain, trouble, etc. that makes people feel reluctant, unwilling, etc.

In standard Japanese it would be すごくめんどう sugoku mendou, or とてもめんど(う)くさい totemo mendokusai.
 


Are there online dictionaries that search other dialects? I used Excite.co.jp's dictionary and found nothing.

I'm afraid that it is not available online. In fact, I haven't found it in print, either. There seem to be several books on dialects or dictionary/book on a specific dialect, though.
I believe mainly because dialects varies greatly - even within the same "ken" (prefecture) dialects are not the same...
 
I see. I didn't think about just searching for the words them selves but morethan likely would have come up in some unreadable (for me atleast) Japanese blog.....
 
I use to live in Miyazaki...

Tegei yodaki means "totemo mendokusai"
 
Incidentally, "yodakii" has slightly different nuance in another region. For instance, it means "noisy and annoying"(騒がしい/うるさい[sawagashii/urusai] in standard Japanese) in my hometown. I've heard that it's from a classical/archaic adjective よだけし[yodakeshi].
