Today it was necessary to find on Habré one topic about a new startup. I remembered a few keywords, but I knew for sure that the topic was in the Startups blog. Regular search gave a bunch of garbage from completely different blogs, but what was my surprise when I did not find the search engine for blogs! Probably such a function already exists, it is just hidden deep in the darkness of Habrahabr, I can not believe that I first drew attention to such a nuisance.
But, if this mechanism is not yet implemented - I have the following suggestions:
I go to the page of a blog of interest to me and use the standard method of searching by keywords, the results show only topics and comments in this blog. Add an advanced search function, for example, an unobtrusive picture next to the field for a search query, allows you to select the intended author of the topic / comment, the blog to which it belongs, combine search by tags and search by keywords, and the simplest filtering of results by the type of “individual words "," Whole phrase, "all words." Add search query keys: For example, I search the topic for the keyword “Google” in the blog “Humor on Habrahabr” - I enter the query “ google blog: humor ”, a similar system for searching by author: “ humor author: michael-p ”. By the way, there is a page in Habra Wiki created by mio back in March of this year. So there was such an idea?
It seems to me that the most successful solution would be the combination of all three methods: When searching from the blog “I am smart”, “ blog: i_am_clever ” is automatically substituted in the request. Advanced search - generator for search queries "for dummies."
