My own search engine swicki

Just to see if I could, I created a family-search search engine to search the message boards on genealogy.com and ancestry.com. I used about a dozen of the family surnames on both boards and, voila! it came together. Very cool. See it on the right - "Family Search" and the surnames I've used.
This could also be a very useful tool for library work, searching various catalogs & book sites all at once. Definitely worth putting together another search engine.

and how is this working for you. I entered one name and found that the Brady bunch is alive and well. I hadn't played with swicki, but is it is rollyo, i might skip it.
