Google Launches Blog Search

The blog search field is getting hot: Google has just launched a blog search engine, in beta …the site is now live here. The FAQs are up here, and give some more details…

Some early impressions:

– Basic for now, compared to say Feedster or Icerocket or even the ever-broken-Technorati.

– The advanced search has some good options

– For the first time, Google is offering its search results as RSS, for this blog search function.

Update: SEW: Google defines blogs as sites that use RSS and other structured feeds and update content on a regular basis…Google’s blog search indexes all of the content it finds in feeds, but does not attempt to access and index the full content available on a publisher’s web server.
