New Search Options but unrelated results in Google Blog Search

Today I read about the new search options on this Google Blog and thought great more control. I didn’t understood why people should use the Blog Search feature from Google because I was never that satisfied as the regular search.

Using the new search options I tried some searches and selected the Blog filter as well. I was very surprised to find in the Blog search result a few duplicates from my Blog post two weeks ago.

First I thought maybe my blog was not so relevant at the moment, but after I switched off the Blog filter I found my Blog post at the top of the list.

I know that the Blog search has some great real time results but this make no sense. Google shows some excepts or duplicates instead of the original content.

I agree, i myself don't use google blog search anymore. I tried using it and i'm not getting what i'm looking for that is why i stopped using it.

Because the blog search results are that kind of “bad”, new services like twitter have a big chance to grow ;)

This is no time for google to start f ' ing with thier algos, if its just a test sure especially with the popularity of Bing growing. But, their #1 factor is to give people the results they are looking for, I hope this is just an experiment and remains optional.
