There may be a billion interetng sites on the Web, but in many cases, I'm only interested in results from one of them, or maybe from a handful. Rollyo -- now out in beta -- lets you create a searchroll of sites to search. The site says:
Your searchroll is a collection of the sites you trust and find useful. It's a personal search engine you create to provide relevant results from a hand selected list of reliable sites. You can make as many searchrolls as you want. Just enter the sites you want to search and you'll be off and rolling.
Alternatively you can use a searchroll that someone else has created. There are already lots to try. The site also has some celebrity High Rollers who have created searchrolls, not always on the topics you might expect. These include:
Library Orgs rolled by Gary Price Pressthinking rolled by Jay Rosen Media Buzz rolled by Jeff Jarvis The Big Answer Deck rolled by Seth Godin Food and Dining rolled by Jason Kottke The Search Search rolled by John Battelle Fashion Sites rolled by Diane Von Furstenberg Modern Furniture rolled by Evan Williams Arianna's All Stars rolled by Arianna Huffington
