#12 Roll your own search engine

Do you have a group of websites that are your favorites? Or a set of online resources that are similar that you frequently use to answer homework or reference questions? Well Rollyo may be the tool for you. Rollyo allows you to create your own search tool for the just the websites you know and trust.

Take a look at some of these search rolls that have already been created:

* Public Domain e-Books Search
* Free Photos
* Everything Star Wars
* Reference
* Explore other rolls here.


Discovery Exercise:

1. Explore Rollyo and create an account for yourself.
2. Create a search roll for any subject you like.
3. Create a post in your blog about your experience and link to your search roll.

I'm having a hard time setting up my own search engine. Maybe I'm missing something. When I create a searchroll it does not replicate the examples posted. What am I doing wrong.
