I used Rollyo to create a search engine that searched all the sites I normally use to look for books (Amazon, librarything, and trading site called Bookmooch) and movies (Internet Movie Database and Amazon again). It was easy enough to put all the URLs in and 'create' I tested it out with a book I had just read, and quickly decided to take out Amazon - it dominated the results to the extent you could barely find the others. Besides, I figured it would be obvious nearly everything I could search for would be on Amazon. It worked a little better without. I do wish there was some way for it to 'know' which of the search results were most important - the actual item description page, for example. It seems to rate everything kind of equally. So I think there is a room for improvement, but it is still pretty neat.
Here is my search engine:
