Rollyo ~ Week 5, Thing 12

One of the rollyo's that I found was set up to search only World of Warcraft sites. I couldn't wait to try this one out. I did a search for the Warlock Felsteed mount. My character is only level 24, but I can hardly wait get my Felsteed. For those that don't play WoW, it looks like a Nightmare. Everyone wants a Nightmare, right?

The search returned relevant results immediately. It's nice to not have to wade through various pages that are full of filler. This would be an excellent tool to use on the library's website. We could make a list of sites that are helpful for... Genealogy, maybe... And then patrons could search sites, chosen by us, that do not require you to pay to conduct your searches. We could then do the same for gaming sites, legal sites... There are many possibilities!

I'm thinking of creating one for name generators. I always need creative names for pets, WoW characters, or even characters for stories that I'm writing. It's hard to believe how many sites are out there with baby names on them, but I'm always looking for something different with lots of meaning. Having one search engine that would search only the best sites would be fantastic!
