MAPPING THE SWAMP:
Google launches blog search (Juan Carlos Perez, 9/14/05, IDG News Service)
Google Inc. has added to its menu of search alternatives the option to search through the ever-popular online journals called Web logs, or blogs.Posted by Orrin Judd at September 14, 2005 4:04 PMThe new search service, which went live on Wednesday, is in test, or beta, form, and can be accessed through a variety of Web addresses, including http://www.google.com/blogsearch and http://search.blogger.com/.
“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,” a frequently-asked-questions (FAQ) page on the new service reads.
Is this collection of demented ravings going to be included?

It better be.

They're still going to ban LGF, tho.
Posted by: Sandy P at September 14, 2005 8:37 PMGoogle's regular search engine will return results based on comments.

Another good reason to use a pseudonym.
Posted by: Raoul Ortega at September 15, 2005 12:40 AMYou should just use the regular search engine, since it gets comments and this blog search doesn't.
