Rollyo

Rollyo allows users to create customized search engines (aka Searchrolls). A Searchroll is a search engine that searches for information only on the user-selected websites. For instance, you can create a search tool for ‘free software’ using major free software directories as source sites. Similarly, you can create ‘Reference’ search engine using major reference tools (Wikipedia, answers.com, etc.) as source sites, and so on.

    BBC World: “Rollyo offers the ability to search the content of a list of specified websites, allowing you to narrow down the results to pages from websites that you already know and trust.”
