Tho I tried out some of the search rolls featured on the site, none came close to giving superior results to Google. I guess my world is still small enough and the queries I deal with simple enough that I don't feel the need for such power searching. Perhaps if I were a reporter on Frontline and needed to use multiple search engines to cover salient topics, or if I were an expert in some field...let's say Geology...it might be worth the effort to commit to making searchrolls that were limited to that field.
I tried to access a library resource searchroll, but it was "private". I accessed one on a topic that I have a lot of experience searching, and I wasn't impressed with the results, certainly not enough to create my own searchroll or link to that one. Sorry, but this "thing" is just not high enough on my list of priorities to spend any more time on, because the return is just not worth the investment. It's not inherently useless; it just isn't something that I need in my worklife at present.
