Search tools revisited

Most search engines provide commands to search on a specific site .
Rollyo allows one to create own customised search engine that searches only on the sites indicated.
THIS WEEK NetSpeak takes a look at some of the latest products/services appearing in the ever-changing search tools arena.
Researchers, professionals, businessmen and others who use the Net for accessing the latest information generally go through a set of specific Web resources. Rather than searching the whole web, they can get more relevant output by focussing on subject-specific sites alone.
Most search engines provide commands to search on a specific site. For instance, the command `site:hinduonnet.com netspeak' will fetch you links to several web pages with the word `netspeak' from The Hindu's site.
