Google's New Blog Search

Sometimes I want to narrow my search to get information from certain areas - like Blogs. Today I noticed that Google has a released a new Google Blog Search tool to help people do just that.

It includes some pretty cool new search operators like:

inblogtitle:
inposttitle:
inpostauthor:
blogurl:

So if you wanted to find a blog entry that included the phrase "ipod nano" in the post title you would type inposttitle:ipod nano in the search box.

It's new,and like everything else Google releases, still beta. The initial index/results need some work. Some of the test searches I ran this morning returned the same blog over 80% of the time within the first 100 results.

I expect Google's blog search will only improve as time passes. At least they know about this blog already.
