Either I'm missing the point, or Google's new Blogsearch is missing the functionality that I'd use most - the ability to search for sites that link to a particular blog.
I'm talking about something like Technorati's blog search page or Bloglines' citations service. Without this it really doesn't seem to add much that I can't get from Google's main search page.
You can search for a URL - I've been playing around with Guardian URLs for most of the day - which does sort of the same thing.
Searching for link:plasmasturm.org gives me the expected results.
Ah yes, "link:". I was going to try that, but forgot.
But I wonder why there's not a "Find pages that link to this blog" box on the advanced search page.
