Google's blog search engine lacks a homepage that displays the most important posts from the blogosphere, but there's a way to find interesting posts without entering a query. For some strange reason, if you search for [label:keyword] or [view:keyword] (keyword can be anything you like), Google ignores your query and displays a list of blog posts. We can assume it's a list of blog posts relevant for any query.

Nice hack.
ReplyDelete> it actually finds the

I found Google Blog Search to be very broken though when showing backlinks (at least since some time, at least when tried with blogoscoped.com).
I noticed that Blog Search can't find the original source of a post unless it has a lot of backlinks, so you'll see posts from sites like thegooglebay.org or originalsignal.com that only republish content, while the original posts are filtered as duplicates.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteIt seems that these results represent the sites with RSS / blogs which send ping to Google ping server, and which appear in http://blogsearch.google.com/changes.xml.
Is this correct in your opinion?
Thanks,
