Google has released a beta edition of Google Blog Search. It is designed to index weblogs and related feeds. The advanced blog search is quite good and has special fields for blog title, post title and author name. Additionally you can limit by post date range as well as language.
Google has built it into blogger.com, so choose your favorite skin below.
Google Blog Search (beta)
Yahoo recently wrote on the Yahoo! Search blog, that their index now provides access to over 20 billion items (Compared to Googles 8.1 billion). A couple of days after Professor John Battelle responded with a post where he mentioned the fact that Google Scientists did not seem to fully agree on Yahoo claims. Well to make a long story shorter Matthew Cheney and Mike Perry, researchers at the NCSA under the supervision of Dr. Orville Vernon Burton, decided to make a brief study of the two rival indexes, and see just who’s got the biggest and most mighty index..
A short controversial article that focus on using Google or other search engines to harvest chinese, russian and similar countries pirate sites. Since it’s pretty obvious that the software companies will have a harder time fighting those websites compared to those in EU or US and the like.
Learn a few token-strings from the language (download, cracked, english version, pro etc..) and you’re basically ready to go warez hunting across the borders.
(Of course this should not be attempted, ever - since it’s illegal, but it’s pretty interesting to surf on foreign sites and attempt to make sense of it all..)
/. Ninwa writes “Google has launched Google Sitemaps. It seems to be a service that allows webmasters to define how often their sites’ content is going to change, to give Google a better idea of what to index. It uses some basic XML as the method of submitting a sitemap. More information on the protocol is available in an FAQ. What’s most interesting is that Google is licensing the idea under the Attribution/Share Alike Creative Commons license. According to the Google Blog, this is being done ‘…so that other search engines can do a better job as well. Eventually we hope this will be supported natively in webservers (e.g. Apache, Lotus Notes, IIS).’ They even offer an open source client in Python.”
