Ask.com Offers Blog Search

Ask.com just launched a new blog search service. The blog & feed search is accessible from Ask’s homepage, or via Ask’s Bloglines site, which the company purchased over a year ago.

Unlike other blog search engines, Ask’s blog & feed search does not crawl the web to index material. Instead, it indexes blog content subscribers to Bloglines have already tagged as relevant. Ask claims this process will offer fresher content than other blog engines that comb the web, and will avoid returning spam.

Blogs can be sorted by relevance, date (hour, day, week and month) and popularity (works off the number of subscribers to a particular blog).
