There are other ways to make your own search engine, namely Google’s Custom Search Engines (CSE) and Rollyo. But I really like this new one, BuildASearch. Just click, register, and it walks you right through the steps. I built a great AltSearchEngines search engine in 5 minutes - see these results for “Images” on AltSearchEngines.com: Alt [...]

The trend of searching your social network for information is going to be with us for a while. Facebook is clearly interested in improving its own search engine to provide a relevant social graph for each individual. And others in this space include Search Wikia, Rollyo (search sites you trust) and Eureskster (customize a search [...]

I've played with Rollyo in the past and didn't find it of much use as I don't do many subject specific searches. However, on further investigation, I could see a library setting up some specific topic-based searches for use on the reference desk. For example, Lincoln City Libraries setting up a search that runs against all sorts of Lincoln-related resources. I did end up creating a pseudo ego search...

Rollyo created a decent amount of buzz back in 2006 when it launched as the place for “custom search engines” — letting users create their own custom search engine by inputting their own URLs and letting them customize it. Topicle looks to have another shot at the concept creating a community around it and focusing equally on the user-searching aspect as they do on the user-creation. As they state,...

Personal search (based on preselected sites, not the whole web) has been around for a while. Rollyo was one of the first I came across. Basically, a person enters sites they want to search, and when some enters a query into the text box, it search only those sources. Google now offers a similar service (where Google once was an innovator, they are increasingly becoming an imitator - bookmarks, reader,...

Have you jumped on the personalized search bandwagon yet? If not, and you do a lot of web searches, personalized searches are worth a look. Lately I’ve been using Rollyo which greets you at its home page with this tagline: “Roll your own search engine.” Rolling your own search engine is exactly what Rollyo lets you [...]

Custom search site Swicki, just out of beta, combines cherry-picking site searches with social moderation features to make a theoretically smarter personalized search box. Like Yahoo's search builder or personal search granddaddy Rollyo , Swicki lets you pick topics and sites you want to look through, but has a few more tricks up its sleeve. The main difference is that a Swicki uses the clicks, keywords...
