New Search Engines Include Blog Search

Another search engine that is worth a look is Clusty. It is a meta engine that allows you to search in the same way as a lot of other engines. You can search shopping sites, news, jobs, blogs, Wikipedia and images as well as the web.

The interesting thing about Clusty is after you conduct your search it also displays extra search suggestions or “clusters” based on the content of your original search. Consider it an expanded version of the “also try” button on Yahoo. If you did a search for “grills” you might also receive suggestions for grill parts, cook books, charcoal briquettes, how-to grill guides, outdoor living etc.

One thing that you will increasingly notice about all of these search engines, and the traditional engines too, is the addition of blog search to their offerings. This capability has been added due to the exploding popularity of blogs. Search engines are good indicators of future trends in the market. The trend is towards increased business blogging.
