Dave Winer has a WebLog search function will pulls from GooGle but then cross-checks against his blog-entry database to get the exact relevant piece (and then he sorts by date, rather than relevance/pagerank). Unfortunately his GooGle [AppKey] has already run out for the day (his demo searches still work because he caches the results).
Note this depends on GooGle having hit all the pages you're interested in. And it will miss brand-new pages that GooGle hasn't gotten to yet (my site hasn't been updated in 9 days).
Hmm, the idea seems to be to search only your own blog?
Then why not do so yourself directly? I suppose because Google lets you do a multi-word [AND] search, rather than a straight substring search (like most low-end functions offer - something fancy like LucEne offers much more); but his demo's are so simple they don't demonstrate this. Or am I missing something?
On this wiki you get a straight substring search with pretty results - use the form at the upper right (start your search string with a !, for reasons you don't have to care about for now - it will change in a few weeks).
