Exploring custom search engines

So, I'm trying out the custom search engines (Rollo and Google Custom Search Engine), and so far I can't see how this is terribly adventageous over a well worded google search. Between the two, I prefer Google's for it simplicity and speed. Rollo just feels too clunky, and has too many intrusive ads for me.

At GCSE I put together a search for Things to Do In Seattle. Useless for general things like "music" but more interesting results for something like "root beer". I'll have to play with this more to see how it goes.

But my impression right now is a well worded search in a broad engine will ge one further...
