a brand new blogs search engine from google
They finally made it, with the same quiet launch they seem to enjoy lately: the google Blog search.
It's beta, and still in the invisible tabs area; and will
probably will stay there until it goes out of beta. No mention on
the number of blogs they cover, but they claim that
they will search every blog that has a RSS or Atom feed. They don't
give any clues on how fast they update the feeds towards the main
engine; but this is no surprise since all this hiding facts strategy
seems to become a corporate logo. One thing is sure, they aren't fast enough to keep up with their own tool adoption through blogs: 0 results as of Saturday, 17th September for "blog search". To speculate, it might be that they cache intensivelly until the hype goes away.
One can also subscribe to a RSS feed of the search results; therefore something like a meta RSS. I hope they don't include their RSS results in their own search
