Do you use the same dozen or so websites for most of your research? Most people do and will benefit from search provider Rollyo's web-based search service, which speeds up and improves the searching of most-used sites.

Rollyo allows you to develop a personal search engine that interrogates the sources you trust. Information professionals can use it to build custom search engines for select audiences -- potentially a very powerful tool for large corporations and academia.

Searchrolls -- Rollyo's name for a personal set of search sites -- can be created for areas such as market intelligence, patents, journal articles, latest scientific results and news.
