Blogger Goes Lijit With Search

You probably have noticed that many blogs (including this one) use LIJIT as their search engine provider. Well now the search specialists have unveiled a new tool: Blog and Social Content Search Gadget for Blogger.

With so many bloggers utilizing multiple social networks, LIJIT set out to yield search results that are unified across a writer’s blog AND their 2.0 activities on popular sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn and YouTube.

The new search gadget is made possible by recent (and desperately needed!) updates to the Blogger platform. This improvement includes better integration with Google Friend Connect and a lightbox feature which permits gadgets, such as Lijit’s, to display information as a layer.

I am a fan of search overlay and have been utilizing the Wibiya toolbar. However, this new gadget is a welcome addition for Blogger users.
