Rollyo - discovery

I tried the program Rollyo which allows you to create your own search engines from your favourite URLs. I tried to use library catalogues and discovered that it really only wanted to search web pages not databases. It is a Google alternative.

After trying a few searches under the various Rollyo search options I found the resulting lists long and not very useful. The use of quotes to create a phrase did not change the search results. Since the search results were not useful I would not use Rollyo.
