I rolled my own search yesterday with the “Create Your Own Search Engine” feature at Google Coop. I dumped my OPML (and a few other select sites I follow that don’t have feeds) into Google Coop and now I have a search engine custom tailored to return results from the sites I follow regularly. It searches about 100 different sites. Try it out on the right sidebar of my site, or just go straight to my search engine homepage.

One complaint: I don’t like the way Pagerank works in the context of my own personal search. Pagerank works well for the entire web, but I wish I could set my own priorities for rankings of results in my own personal search. Valuable, relatively-unknown sites like Game Girl Advance should be ranked ahead of massive interesting, but not targeted, web services like Digg. Unfortunately, a site like Digg has a higher PageRank than Game Girl Advance, so it’s given priority in the rankings.

Aside from that one complaint, I’m a big fan! Again, check out my search engine.
