Instead of just bringing up individual post containing specific keywords used in searches made by Google users, there is now a filter that brings up entire blogs pertaining to terms that you have searched for. This new blog-finding filter is not a part of the Blog Search feature, it is on the Google homepage; users only need to click on the blog option on the left-side menu and then on the bottom they will see a choice for either posts or homepages and voila! You now have the results for whole blogs dealing with whatever it is you are looking for.
