Rollyo - Your Customized Search Engine

What do you feel when you make a search and the results you get are not related to your query at all? Don’t you wish there was a better way to do your search easier and faster? There are cases when we don’t need to use all the content from all the websites available on the Internet, because we don’t need their information anyway.

And I was lucky enough to get to know about Rollyo. It is a customizable search engine that enables a user to search the content of a list of specified websites, thus allowing you to narrow down the results to pages from websites that you already know and trust.

Rollyo was released in late September this year, and they seem to be gaining popularity and I can definitely see why. It helps users to filter out the results that they don’t need.

Rollyo fetches search results from Yahoo search. Users can provide a maximum of 25 urls to be featured in their customized search lists (Searchrolls). To start using Searchroll, you will have to register first. After that, you will be given an option either to create your own custom searchroll or just use searchrolls that other members have been using at the moment.

So, to create your own search engine, you only need to provide Rollyo with the sources of information you want them to find for you, and you just leave the rest for them.

They have recently added some new features. You can actually just go to their about page for the details, but let me share
some of them. Rollyo now is available from your browser, thanks to implementation of plugins.

By the way, just to make the competition interesting, Google actually has came up with their own Google customized search engine. If I were given the choice, I would definitely go for Google CSE, because it allows me to add my Google Adsense code in it. That means I can make money from Google CSE. Who can resist that?
