Sent to you by Sean McBride via Google Reader: Iterend - a Search
Engine for fast changing info via Alt Search Engines by Charles Knight

An announcement from the Iterend team:
We want you to be able to actively discover the most recent, most
discussed and most important articles of the blogosphere. Iterend gives
you an overview of the information you are looking for, where you are
then able to drill down into the different categories of interest
related to that information.
We offer unique features to achieve this. You can restrict your search
to sentence level, search by categories, and filter your search results
by clicking on the various related phrases next to your search results.
A detailed description is available here.
So what differentiates us from other blog search engines: (e.g google
blog search, technorati, twingly, etc…)
* We display an overview of what is currently being discussed in the
blogosphere, so that you are able to dive into the different areas you
are interested in.
* All articles are linked to structured wikipedia information, which
makes it possible to search by categories. (eg.
http://blogs.iterend.com/en/?query=category%3A”Swimmer”+category%3A”Medalist”&date=alltime
)
* Search results are clustered and you can search on sentence level,
post level or blog level.
* Next to the search results, relevant phrases and categories are
displayed, so you are able to restrict your search or get an overview
over the information you are looking for. (eg.
http://blogs.iterend.com/en/?query=techcrunch&date=alltime)
* You can search for related posts to a given topic, url or cluster
(eg. http://blogs.iterend.com/en/?query=related%3A”iphone”&date=alltime)
At the moment, about 250 000 mainstream english blogs are indexed. The
number of indexed blogs will be increased soon, while we will still
focus on the mainstream (and hopefully spam free) blogs. We will add
support to search in additional languages in the future as well. Some
more very interesting features will be added in the upcoming days,
weeks and months!
We also offer an API for application developers wishing to use parts of
our service (Results, Phrases, Categories) in their applications.
