Google as adapted it's news search technology for blog posts. With its revamped Blog Search, Google can now better track the thousands of new blog posts made per day.
The search features greatly resemble your standard Google Search features including Search, Advanced Search, and Preferences. On the left side of the site, popular subtopics (Top Stories, Politics, US, World, Business, Technology, Video Games, Science, Entertainment, Movies, Television, Sports) are included for easier searching.
Kudos for Google making a simple, straightforward, blog search.

One concern I have with this program is Google's page rank aggregating the blogs pretty much the way they see fit. on thier about page, they explain
"We periodically crawl and refresh manually-added blogs, but resubmitting ensures that we index the latest posts."
How many re-submissions are necessary in oder to make the index?
I understand the value of the service, I just worry that people will get lazy when searching for perspectives. It's a big internet out there. Use it.
I will have to agree with Ryan's concern here. Yet, I still find Blog search tools to be very useful when looking for some quick info on a topic. For those hard-to-find topics, you will always have to dig a bit deeper into the WWW.
