WordPress.com Search Engine
We have conventional Search Engines such as Google and yahoo but one year back WordPress.com has come up with a Search Engine which can search within WordPress.com.
I don’t see a valid reason for this, according to WordPress.com it’ll show the post in the result once it’s published, in other words instantly.
I don’t think this initiation will become popular because even Google can fetch your blog update within 10 minutes. I have seen and amazed on how Google index posts from our blog so quickly.
In the other hand you have enough options in Google where in WordPress.com search haven’t got any advance searching feature.
May be WordPress.com could have extended their search to other self hosted blogs too. It would have brought much wider audience to the search Engine.
This is only just a WordPress.com search engine, nothing much to talk on this feature.
PS: Tamil interface also available for WordPress.com search
I think it isn’t right to compare this with google. even google doesn’t index all blogs in minutes by default.
This is more like catering to the wordpress community like search.twitter . In that way it is good to have instant search.

Yeah! thatz true. You’re making sense.
As a matter of fact I always expect more from WordPress, so it’s little disappointing

Google is not meant to be used for within-site searches for a dynamic site as it is generally unaware of the critical areas (content types, fields such as title, body, etc and other specific factors) and a bad example is the use of Google in ‘Dialog.lk’ site. Enterprise search, hosted search and of course search facility provided by the CMS itself are the way to go, until semantic web comes true.
Also from what I have seen in http://groups.google.com/group/wp-hackers, they plan to extend wordpress search to its next level with advanced indexing, integration with taxonomy and other fields. I cannot comment on the structural advantage of wordpress to handle this, but I wouldn’t say it is not the right path to take for a widely-used CMS.
Thank you for the invitation.congratulations for word press.com search engin google is not provided facility.
