ROLLYO to my Soul

Assignment #12 Roll Your Own Search Engine with ROLLYO

I wasn't really inspired to create a search engine as I have my frequently-used reference sites bookmarked and I search databases within them--things that I doubted a ROLLYO search would find. So I got lazy and asked my sweetie for help. As Dale is obsessed with audio, I figured he would have some reputable sites that he could suggest. He got me started, then it was kinda fun adding the different sites to be searched, and real fun when it worked!


So immediately above is my roll-your-own search created with ROLLYO on the subject of digital audio archiving. Try the sample search of "gold CD" after picking archive.digi.audio (short name due to character limit) from the drop down search box to put it through its paces.


I am a diehard Firefox fan, so I was especially pleased to see that it was very simple to add my newly-created search to the search box that resides in Firefox's tool bar.
