ROLLYO
"Are you tired of wading though thousands of irrelevant search results to get to the information you want? Ever wish you could narrow your search to sites you already know and trust? With Rollyo, you can easily create your own custom search engines, and explore and save those created by others. ..."
I read about this in the recent InformationWeek...
"Google's been bragging lately about how many Web pages its engine searches. A new service, Rollyo.com, is proud of how it allows people to search fewer sites. Rollyo.com--that's for roll your own--debuts a search service this week that allows users to keep a list of up to 25 favorite Web sites and constrain search queries to those specific sites. The lists, called "searchrolls," offer an effective way to reduce the volume of results from a keyword query, and are particularly good for building a vertical-industry or topical search engine. ..."
Sounds kind of cool. Like a google "site:" search with a up to 25 sites.
This sparked my interesting because I find myself googling just to find stuff on MS's different sites. So to give this a try I created a Microsoft searchroll...
I'll play with this for a while and see how it goes...
