Rollyo

Select...Whole EarthSearch The Web

This is the Rollyo search bar I created for ecology/conservation related searches. This tool is pretty cool, but you have to be careful with it because it does not seem to do as much ranking as other search engines do, and it can potentially return a huge quantity of hits. Wading through all these hits can be much more time consuming than it would be to search individual sites, or even a more selective search engine such as Google or Exalead. I will play with it more to see if I can customize it to produce better results, but even so it is pretty neat to be able to customize the search in that way. Very interesting.
