According to Niall, Google is going to release feed search tonight.
Niall speculates:
Feeds come prepackaged as individual items or entries allowing for easy digestion by parsers and indexers. Google would need to overhaul its indexer or design a new and separate indexer specific to blog posts if it would like to include more post content than it is currently pulling down from a page’s link alternate declared feed. Technorati indexes a blog’s HTML assisted by the declared RSS and Atom feed, so I am admittedly a bit biased.
I can’t believe this. Google has engineers who can overcome these problems. For the most part I’ve overcame the problems while I was at Rojo and for the most part it was just me working on this component. Of course Google only has 70 PhDs and I’m only equivalent to about five… ;)
Niall’s right though. Technorati does more. But this is certainly up their alley and a bit more competition.
