Google launches Their Own New Blog Search Engine in Beta

By John Alexander

Check out Google's very own new Blog Search Engine at: http://blogsearch.google.com 

With the high interest people have in reading Blogs, it is certainly no surprise that Google has just launched their own new Blog search engine. Google is by no means the very first search engine to create blog search functionality. Other smaller companies like Technorati and Feedster have had similar type search services around for quite a while.

Currently it is in its Beta test phase. There is some speculation in general, that other major search engines will be following the trend with their own brand of Blog search engines.  

Blog Search contains many of the "advanced search capabilities" of the regular web search engine, such as

  • exact words

  • phrases

  • searches by author

  • and restricting search to specific dates

  • filtering and no filtering

Advanced Blog search also includes searching in other foreign languages such as:

  • Arabic

  • Bulgarian

  • Catalan

  • Chinese

  • Croatian

  • Czech

  • Danish 

  • Dutch 

  • English

  • Finnish

  • French 

  • German

  • Greek

  • Hebrew

  • Hungarian

  • Icelandic

  • Indonesian

  • Italian

  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Polish
  • Portuguese
  • Romanian
  • Russian
  • Spanish
  • Swedish
  • Turkish
  • Plus many others

As we teach our students more about creating useful Blogs that serve some purpose, it only stands to reason that people will want to be able to search through literally billions of Blog topics to find just what they're looking for. Will Google be the most popular Blogging search engine in the future? Will they introduce methods of monetizing Blog search results in the future? I am sure we can count on some interesting developments things progress in the future.

Interesting. I've noticed occasional press releases through news feeds showing up in the Blog Search results. It's also handy to be able to sort results by relevance or sort by date. By all means give Google's Blog Search Engine a testing of your own and see what you come up with. Check it out at: http://blogsearch.google.com
