[...] Swicki’s are based on Yahoo’s search API for base results. The publisher customizes the search engine by adding keywords that are always added to the search results. And, in a similar way to Rollyo, Swickis allow for the publisher to name specific websites that have content relevant to the search. For instance, a gaming site may include other gaming website URLs as important, and Swicki will put results from those sites on the top. A publisher can also block results from certain blogs. For our Workgroup, we selected all participating site URLs as the most relevant content. [...]

BiZwiKi.CN - 喧闹 PK 噪音 » Blog Archive » 关于Rollyo个性化搜索引擎的建议 — Sat, 27 May 2006 23:58:18 +0000

[...] 我们曾经考虑过使用Rollyo 而不是Google Site Search 来作为“BiZwiKi.CN - 喧闹 PK 噪音” 的搜索引擎；并且我们曾经真正引入了相关的代码测试到我们的Weblog 里面当中。为何我选择Rollyo？而不是Google？尽管我很清楚我的同事：NigelMeng 和 RyanWolf 都是彻底的Gfans（Google Fans）。然而Rollyo 的个性化定制搜索的确吸引了我的注意，它不单纯可以对你自己的Weblog 进行搜索，更为关键的在于你可以将你感兴趣的网站同时加入到你的Searchrolls 里面（Searchrolls 指的是你希望搜索的特定网站的列表）Rollyo 让你可以通过定义自己的Searchrolls 来在Rollyo 的搜索框当中选择你希望搜索某个Searchrolls 里面的其中一个网站的信息。例如，你希望搜索Rails API 当中所有关于render 这个关键字的网页，那么只需要在Rollyo 引擎提供给你的下拉菜单当中选择“Rails API” 这个item 就可以实现；同时，如果你希望搜索到的包含render 这个关键字，但是只搜索来自来自BiZwiKi.CN 这个网站的页面的话，只需要在Rollyo 引擎提供给你的下拉菜单当中把你的选择从“Rails API” 改为“BiZwiKi.CN”就可以了。Rollyo 向你提供的正是这样的一个非常简便在分别各个站点上面搜索同一个关键字的服务。实际上，这理所当然的是一个极具创新理念的服务 —— 甚至连Google 的Site Search 服务也正在模仿Rollyo，只是目前Google 仅提供3 个网站的定义限额，而且你不能够对于同一站点下面的不同目录底下的页面进行区分性的搜索范围划分。在这一点上面Rollyo 实际上超越了Google 的搜索能力。举例：我可以在BiZwiki.CN 上面搜索所有关于“Rails” 这个关键字的页面；然而BiZwiki.CN 上面的页面或许包含了BiZwiki.CN 的宣传信息；我不希望看到。我想搜索出来的应该是BiZwiki.CN / teamblog 底下相关的技术文章。这个时候我便可以通过定义一个新的Searchroll，指向http://www.bizwiki.cn/teamblog/ 来搜索只存在于BiZwiKi.CN - 喧闹 PK 噪音底下的页面了。同时Rollyo 允许你定义无数个Searchroll 中的item，而不是Google Site Search 可怜巴巴的三个限额Quota.

This relies on Yahoo! of course, rather than sites’ own search engines… I’d be keener to see new interfaces to OpenSearch searchrolls where i can build meta-search engines out of site specific search engines…

Dave Pell,
Ok, you got some people to write you up, I understand that’s PR game. You got Adriana and Rosario (celebrities) grill on your site endorsing their own stuff. So, what do you want me to do as a consumer with your site?

//Rollyo puts the power of Yahoo! Search in your hands//

Do Yahoo! really need Rollyo to do that when they have 360?

what’s their business model?

Singpolyma, exactly what I thought.

1. Add 5 URLs to your “roll” on ROLLYO and search for something.

2. Add same 5 URLs to a Google search with the “site:” command

3. Be amazed by the difference.

Arianna/Debra/Rosario - cool, two degrees of separation. Maybe I can get them on Friendster next.

Saw Arianna Huffington, Debra Messing and Rosario Dawson on the site. So does this mean that 1) they are internet search geeks, 2) are buddies with Dave Pell, or of those involved or 3) were made up by someone else?
