This desktop tool allows you easily search up to 4 of the search engines that focus on the millions of blogs. When the results are returned, you can quickly scan a summary of text containing your search term. Clicking on a button takes you directly to that blog item. Clicking on a different button takes you to the blog home page. And a third button will get you subscribed to that blog via your news aggregator (like NetNewsWire).
You can sort the results by date or relevance.
So while BlogLight does not do much that the search engines themselves don't do, it makes it fast and easy to use.
And that justifies the $14 price.
This is a very nice 1.0 implementation, and I'm hoping the author will incorporate user's suggestions into future versions.
For instance, it might be nice to save the results in a useful format, so that I can load back up a search results executed in the past. Or so I can research just new blog posts the next time.
