Week 5, Thing 12

#12 Roll your own search tool with Rollyo

I like the idea behind Rollyo and it has a lot going for it, but I don't think I will use it much after this. It's a no-brainer concept with so much potential. Take all the (similar content) sites you like to visit and create a one-stop site search tool. I liked that it was easy to set up and use. I also liked that I could easily add my Rollyo to my blog! I've already added to my sidebar!

The main problem I had with Rollyo was that I could not customize the search results page. I would have liked to opt out on the Sponsored Links (the ads on the side should be enough) and the Custom Blog Results sections at the top of the page. I would have also like to be able to rank my sites, so my best sites always results at the top!

Also not sure if it was something I did or not, but I originally had this blog as one of the search options. When I tried to use it, Rollyo would always return with no results! Not really sure why...
