I have created a bunch of topic specific search engines using Rollyo, mostly for my own searching needs, although I am quite sure that you will also find them extremely useful. These are custom engines for finding free software, firefox extensions, wordpress plugins, portable applications, ipod tools etc…, including my favorite TV show search (which can instantly find the most recent episode that is available for streaming). Whenever you search for something on these engines it will only look into resources specified by me. It may not be the ultimate choice but in most cases it does a good job. Check them out, and if there is a particular engine that you like, then you may add it to your firefox search as an option or add it to your bookmarks in case you’re using Safari or IE.
