In this case, it was just a mention of our name. In other cases, many users are surprised that I find out that they blogged about us. Regarding using other engines, there are many out there. As a user, I usually use more than one. Of course, PubSub gives me the best results. ;-) Steven Luke:

But searching for things? That's fun? I guess I like a challenge as much as the next guy. Tom: Thanks for the update about Salim. It's hard to keep track of everything! Right, Google Blog Search, not ready...nice way of putting it. They all seem inconsistent to me, but that's because I'm not a serious techie or algorhythm writer...I'm a user. The PubSub search IS a real twist. Just when you think you can label something... And speaking of which, Steven, thanks for dropping by. Your comment indicates that PubSub's sidebar works enough that you found me. I'm curious, what is your subscription set to search? If it was "pubsub" then I'm not sure I'm impressed that it found its own name, but if it was something different...I may eat my words. I, too, use the PubSub sidebar for Firefox and originally I was all excited about it. But since it's been decided that no one can rely on one blog search engine (nor one Internet Search Engine, really) it wasn't as helpful as I'd hoped. I'm not giving up on PubSub, just keeping a wary on the lot. Chris: You’re right, the ‘net is fun. But searching for things? That’s fun? I guess I like a challenge as much as the next guy.

A couple of things - Salim left PubSub about two months ago and on the Google Blog search point - well, I also find it very inconsistent. Sometimes it finds a relevant post first but more often it fails to find the post at all - so I left it out. I didn't think it was ready. Ironically I found this post through a PubSub search!

Search engines generally come with similar results. Blog search engines remain all over the map. I don't have a favorite yet, which means I do a lot more searching than I'd like. But I guess that's what makes the Net so much fun. The problem with blog search engines in my experience is their is little consistency. Search engines generally come with similar results.
