I couldn't think of what to use either of these for. But it dawned on me that since I'm going traveling this spring I could use a personal search engine to find places to see. So far they've both been very helpful though coming up with alot of the same sites.

Well, Google Custom Search engine may have been a bust (for me at least) but Rollyo seems to be going well.

I'm still confused about how people are supposed to find your search engine in the first place. I logged out and tried to find mine, but I couldn't. Maybe I tried to soon?

Also, does anyone know I can upload a picture to my profile so that I have a face on ROLLYO? So far all I can do is edit text and add a webpage.

Creating a search engine is harder than it sounds, because you have to come up with an idea.

If you're using Google, like me, with AdSense in the hope of generating a little income on the side, picking your topic is even more crucial. You have to think of something that other people will want to use, or at the very least, learn of.

For mine, I picked online puzzles and brain games. The search engine is called Puzzles and brain games search engine, because I couldn't think of anything better.
