Is it possible to build my own overall search engine but customize it to only search a string of URLs that I choose and input? I have this list of bookmarked favorite sites that I use to search for local events at http://www.blinklist.com/Ecrivaine32/events/ and I'm tired of having to search through each and every one of them. I just wondered if I could make this huge undertaking into one process.
I doubt there is a solution, because it seems there would be quite a bit of programming involved, if it were possible anyway; but I thought I would check.
I am aware of the ability to create swikis and search engines like Rollyo, but I didn't think any more technology than that was available.
Do you have any other solutions? Anything would help. Thanks!
They're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

There are a couple of web sites that allows you to create your very own customized search engine that is only limited to searching on specific sites.
Check out Rollyo, which gives you this ability by specifying up to 25 web sites that the search will only be performed on them (I think it's 25, anyhow).
You can also take a look at Google Co-op which does the same as Rollyo as well as Yahoo Search Builder.
All of these sites basically do the same thing, which is to create your own personalized search engine. They have minor differences in configurations (some allows more sites to be search in one search engines, some allow less), but they will produce something that will probably answer your needs (I hope).
The search for people who can answer your question continues for as long as needed - until you find the answer you were looking for.

Hi,
As Eran mentioned there are few solutions to this, and it depends on which search technology you prefer. In Google's co-op , you'de get google's algorithmic results, limited to only the subset of sites that you choose. You can also select between showing only the sites you chose, or giving them preference in the algo, but still showing others.
Cheers,
Amir
There is the Nutch project, now part of the Apache Foundation that allows you to build on the basic search engine by customizing what gets indexed. It uses basic config files to tell the indexer to either index everything or only a select set of URLs.
