Bloglines and Ask.com launch blog search engine
Bloglines, the immensely popular web-based feed reader owned by Ask.com, launched its long-awaited blog search engine yesterday. The search can be accessed from both the Bloglines and Ask.com web sites, with slightly different interfaces.

Both search pages have a few advanced options, including filtering by date, sorting by date, relevance, or popularity, and including or excluding news. It also has the obvious (but welcome) integration with Bloglines, allowing you to subscribe to feeds (the Ask.com version also lets you subscribe with Google Reader, NewsGator, or My Yahoo!), "clip" posts, and post them to del.icio.us, Digg, or Newsvine. Not bad.
