Blog Search is Google search technology focused on blogs. Google is a strong believer in the self-publishing phenomenon represented by blogging, and it hopes Blog Search will help its 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; its 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, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, and other languages as well. This has been added to the Bots, Blogs and News Aggregators presentation page.

How do I use Blog Search?

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.
