Google’s blog publishing platform, Blogger, is bringing its Custom Search Box gadget out of its beta version, also known as Blogger in Draft. The search gadget a blog’s readers search posts, web pages linked from the blog, other blogs on the blog roll, as well as pages on the shared links list.
Google initially launched the gadget on its Blogger in Draft platform, which offers users a version of Blogger where Google tests out features and new interfaces. Google says it has upgraded the search gadget to provide simpler defaults as well as the ability for the box to integrate with the aesthetics and color of your blog. The Search Box gadget uses AJAX Search APIs to power the feature and also automatically updates the custom linked search engine when you update your blog, blog lists, or link lists.
Custom search can be a useful tool for blogs because it allows readers to not only search a blog’s content but also any pages or favored sites that are linked to, giving readers a related, but still-focused, search experience.
WOW! One box updated!!!
And you wrote a 179 word article on it!
Seriously, what’s going on at TC?!
Publish or Parish.
Is blogging becoming a realtime service? Will blog posts become 140 ch. long?
To me, that whole Tweeter mania just got out of hand, and TC, as a promoter of the service, must react – shorter posts, higher frequency.
Did Jonah just swallow the whale?
Amazing. Now manybe Google can find all the spam blogs, blogs full of pirated materials and other garbage that makes Blogger the exciting spammers paradise that it is !!! Yeaaaa !!

“The search gadget a blog’s readers search posts, web pages linked from the blog, other blogs on the blog roll, as well as pages on the shared links list.”
