I have been using Technorati blog search add-in for Sree’s Tech Notes. Lately I find Technorati weaker and weaker as the blogosphere grows. Google Blog Search now performs much better than Technorati search, updates it’s indexes within minutes.
Technorati provides eazy to copy & paste code for incorporating their blog search engine to any blog. But I haven’t seen Google doing this. Anyway, I like the Google service and want to put it in my blog.
Here is the code I wrote to incorporate Google Blog Search in Sree’s Tech Notes blog.
<form class="search" action="http://www.google.com/blogsearch"
method="get" onsubmit="if(this.q.value=='Search Tech Notes')
{return false;}else{this.q.value=this.s.value+'
blogurl:https://teck.in/'};">
<input type="text" size="18" name="s" value="Search Tech Notes"
title="Enter Your Search Query Here"
onfocus="if(this.value=='Search Tech Notes'){this.value=''};"
onblur="if (this.value==''){this.value='Search Tech Notes'};" />
<input type="submit" value="Search"/>
<input type="hidden" name="q"/>
</form>
Sample:
BTW, which blog search engine do you use? Why?
