Yo, roll! Roll, I say!

Well, I made a searchroll. I also added it to my blog. You'll see it on the right. To search within my parameters, select "TV and Film Resource" from the drop-down menu.

This was sort of fun. I didn't know about Rollyo before. When I first created the searchroll, I included amazon.com among the sites to search, but then I discovered that there were too many results coming back from the one site, so I took it out. After that, I started getting a wider variety of results. I also really like that once you've searched, you can narrow your results by site, just by clicking on the listing to the left.

I guess this tool can be useful if you're looking for very specific results, or for searching sites that don't have very good search features themselves. I particularly like the idea of being able to execute a genuine search without having to put up with results from wikipedia, for instance.
