Please - a blog search engine that works!

While some pundits predict a major exit for Technorati Jeremy Zawodny and David Galbraith are analysing the usefulness of blog search engines around:

"I don't recall Feedster ever being all that useful. But I also don't find Technorati particularly useful. Why can't someone just create a simple search engine for feeds/blogs?"

The truth is that it is very difficult to build a search enginelinks with real-time updates, since search engines are optimized for retrieval and usually use batch indexing. In addition, the majority of weblogs are spam, further compounding the problem."
Blog search engines are hardly useable so far. While Technorati has finally started to work a bit more reliably has introduced some new features (like the sometimes helpful Blogfinder), most search engines lack the convenience and reliability of Google.

I personally find most engines lacking the basic promise search offers - finding what I need. As long as thsi is teh case and nobody has found a 'golden bullet' like Google's Pagerank it will be hard to exit.
