I Need An Archive of Blogs, NOW!

So I’m reading Bloglines, which is my preferred reader since I can take it with me anywhere, and my busy mind remembers a post I might have read around 6 month ago. Now, I don’t remember what site it was from or who wrote it, but I can probably think of a few keywords in that post.
What do I do?
- I can’t use Google. It doesn’t search only blogs and I can’t specify the time frame.
- I can’t use any of the blog searching sites. Because they produce the same results as google or worse.
I finally come to the conclusion that there is NOTHING that I can do. That is when this idea came to my mind, we need something like bloglines, which is easy to use, but for it to store all of the posts from a blog in an archive format, easily searchable, and easy to use.
I’m sure that whoever comes up with that will be pretty successful.
Have you tried using Google Blog Search (www.blogsearch.google.com)? It’s still in Beta, but I think it only searches blogs. You might find what you are looking for.

Tricia,
I have played around with it and it’s some what ok for searching. But I’ve thought about this a little bit more and I’m thinking that it’s not just a search, but like a search within my own blog reading history.
Maybe I’ll have to design it myself…. hmm smart idea.
