Knowing the identity of the designer isn't a predicate to detecting that something was designed.

How do those disciplines test for intelligent design by a diety in their research?

Whether the designer is a diety seems to be an obsession of the detractors of intelligent design not its proponents. If the SETI Project were to detect a pattern of signals which could have only been transmitted by an intelligent agent, what difference would it make if the identity of the sender couldn’t be, at the same time, determined?
