#12 Roll your own search engine with Rollyo

Rollyo has great potential. I tried to roll a search engine for all non-LibraryLink libraries in Victoria, so that I could search all their catalogues at once. It didn't work!!! Very disappointed, as this would have been of great benefit to my team and would have increased productivity.
I have discovered what went wrong. I was trying to create a search engine for 'search engines', however this is not what Rollyo is designed for. Rollyo is a search engine which searches the nominated websites for information. It is similar but not the same.
Anyway, I rolled a search engine of gardening sites. Hope you find it useful.
