Blogger Blogsearch – Powered by Google

Blog Search is Google search technology focused on blogs. Google is a strong believer in the self-publishing phenomenon represented by blogging, and we hope Blog Search will help our users to explore the blogging universe more effectively, and perhaps inspire many to join the revolution themselves. Whether you’re looking for Harry Potter reviews, political commentary, summer salad recipes or anything else, Blog Search enables you to find out what people are saying on any subject of your choice.

Just type the word(s) you want to search for in the text box and click “Search.” That’s all there is to it!

If you want more control over your search, click the “Advanced Search” link to the right of the search button. There you’ll find options to specify titles, authors, languages and more. Once you get your search results, there will be an additional link that allows you to switch between displaying the results with either the most relevant or recent results at the top.

In the Blogger version of the interface, there is an extra “use search options” link beneath the search box. This will show a few of the most common advanced options, such as a specific blog or a date range to search within.

Blog Search indexes blogs by their site feeds, which will be checked frequently for new content. This means that Blog Search results for a given blog will update with new content much faster than standard web searches. Also, because of the structured data within site feeds, it is possible to find precise posts and date ranges with much greater accuracy.
