#12 Roll Your Own

Rollyo is interesting but my mind went blank as to what to create. Then I looked at what others had done and began to think it had all been done already. I was especially impressed by someone who had made a search for children's preschool programming resources.

I almost made a best price search, but it had been done before. Then I began to do a slang dictionary search even though there were a few of those, but decided it was too broad, so I limited it to Web slang and this is what I ended up with.
Annette's Web Speak Search Engine.

I could see staff making handy search tools on information desk computers for subjects often asked about. It could also be used to generate search boxes for our public using one or multiple tools. Can it be used for sites that usually have to be logged into, however? is there a way to set that up?

I'm going to try and add the search box to my Blog.
Okay--that worked. I put it under my zombie news feed for now.
