The Google Blog Search Experience

Google did it again! Its innovatory system of spare design sensibility and open standard trademark defines a new page in quality software history.

    Google Blog Search excludes blogs without feeds, distinguishing a blog feed from mainstream news in a personal perspective. Published blogs partial-entry feeds suffer a damaged profile in results because most of them remain uncrawled. So what is Google plotting you might ask?

Running several parallel searches in different search blog engines, I’ve noticed that Google Blog Search automatically prefixes a URL search with the link: operator, defaulting the search to incoming link sources.  This can be a drawback at times, in terms that it doesn’t always locate incoming links as well as other engines do.

Even if Google eliminates incoming links from the same domain, a “Best of…” post, posted on most blogs, do not appear in Google Search results when the URL of a spotlighted entry is placed in the search box.

Users can subscribe to feeds of search results; the advanced search page offering date-constrained searches, URL & title searches in addition to form-based Boolean operators.

Though Google is still faster in returning search results, I am still waiting for more improvements and more detailed features throughout its system.
