Rollyo

I made a search roll and put a searcbox widget in my sidebar.

While it's a nifty idea I have to admit that I'm unlikely to use it, and will most likely keep up my habit of using google for everything (bad, I know).

I think that rollyo could be a useful as a teaching aide. You could teach people how to use keywords to search, while ensuring that the sites they search are on topic. This will give them a greater chance of success, less chance of spam, and perhaps cement the basic concepts for searching before they venture out into the mish-mash that search engines often produce.
