BlogSearch Google Service
BlogSearch is a new service from Google (beta yet). As the name
suggests it searches through blogs. It's the same simple Google
interface (almost) but with a Find blogs on your favorite topics
slogan (I really think they could have picked a better one).

On their frequently asked questions section there are some interesting
details, like how you can submit your blog to Google BlogSearch if it
just had been lauched. Read this selection or the whole Google Blog

What is Blog Search?
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.
Your results include all blogs, not just those published through
Blogger; our blog index is continually updated, so you'll always
get the most accurate and up-to-date results; and you can search
not just for blogs written in English, but in French, Italian,
German, Spanish, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese and other languages
as well.
How do I find Blog Search?
There are a few different ways you can get to Blog Search:
blogsearch.google.com (Google-style interface)
search.blogger.com (Blogger-style interface)
The Blogger Dashboard
The Navbar on any Blog*Spot blog
It's the same search in each place, no matter how you get to it.
The Navbar, however, provides two buttons: one to search the blog
you are currently viewing, and one to search all blogs.
Which blogs are included in Blog Search?
The goal of Blog Search is to include every blog that publishes a
site feed (either RSS or Atom). It is not restricted to Blogger
blogs, or blogs from any other service.
How do I get my blog listed?
If your blog publishes a site feed in any format and automatically
pings an updating service (such as Weblogs.com), we should be able
to find and list it. Also, we will soon be providing a form that
you can use to manually add your blog to our index, in case we
haven't picked it up automatically. Stay tuned for more information
on this.
What search operators are supported?
All of the standard Google Search operators are supported in Blog
Search. These include:
link:
site:
intitle:
Additionally, Blog Search supports the following new operators of
its own:
inblogtitle:
inposttitle:
inpostauthor:
blogurl:
For example, a search such as [mandolin inpostauthor:Graham] will
show you posts about mandolins written by people named Graham. Note
that you can also use the Advanced Search option to achieve the
same effect.
