Mergers of two compact objects, like two neutron stars or a neutron star anda black hole, are the probable progenitor of short gamma-ray bursts. Theseevents are also promising sources of gravitational waves, that are currentlymotivating related searches by an international network of gravitational wavedetectors. Here we describe a search for gravitational waves from the in-spiralphase of two coalescing compact objects, in coincidence with short GRBsoccurred during during LIGO's fifth science run and Virgo's first science run.The search includes 22 GRBs for which data from more than one of the detectorsin the LIGO/Virgo network were available. No statistically significantgravitational-wave candidate has been found, and a parametric test shows noexcess of weak gravitational-wave signals in our sample of GRBs. The 90\%~C.L.median exclusion distance for GRBs in our sample is of 6.7 Mpc, under thehypothesis of a neutron star - black hole progenitor model.
