Google launches blog search

CNET News.com: "Google has launched a blog search feature, as it seeks to go head-to-head with archrival Yahoo in the booming blog market.
Google's tool is designed to find listings beyond those published through its own Blogger service by searching blogs that publish feeds via RSS or Atom. The feeds are checked frequently for new content, Google said on its Web site.
An upcoming feature will allow bloggers who publish site feeds to request inclusion in Google's search index.
The tool is designed to find blogs posted in multiple languages, including Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Spanish, among others.
The tool can be accessed at blogsearch.google.com, at search.blogger.com or through the Blogger Dashboard, as well as through the 'Navbar' of any Blog*Spot blog, Google said on its site. The service is the same in all locations, though the Navbar method features two buttons, one that allows people to search for text in the blog they are currently viewing, and another that requests a search of all blogs indexed."
