YAHOO mp3 weblog search function - Artists mentioned in the WIRE magazine

The WIRE magazine and more

Search trough lots of mp3 weblogs Mozilla Version
Search trough lots of mp3 weblogs IE Version

Use this to search through many mp3-weblogs. This boobkmarklet is still in beta. Play with it, check if your own mp3 blog is covered and drop a line with your thoughts on this bookmarklet.

Why YAHOO ? Because the size of the query at GOOGLE is very limited, while at YAHOO it is "unlimited".

What this bookmarklet is doing is telling yahoo to search trough approximately 15 weblogs. The query is for example:
"XYZ" (site:tofuhut.blogspot OR site:swen.antville.org)

As you can see, the size of the query easely gets realy big. That's why you can't use GOOGLE.

The bookmarklet woud even be better if people used "better" captions for the postings in weblogs. Most weblogs are hosted at blogspot. The caption of a posting at blogspot ist transformed into an URL. For example this one:
sixeyes.blogspot.com...mystical-and-magical.html
This is a very nice link collection of songs by Devendra Banhart. By giving the post a heading like " mystical and magical by Devendra Banhart", it would be much easier to search for songs/tracks of certain artists, because you can tell GOOGLE or YAHOO to look (for the word you are searching) into the URL and the title of the page of the single posting, which would make the search results yahoo/google much better.
But how to name the postings in your weblog is everyone ownes taste. But it would increase also the position at google.

Update #1
The best way to use this bookmarklet is to drag it to the link bo of your browser, so you don't of to come to my site to use it. But ofcourse I on't mind you comming to my site :-)
You can change the weblogs covered in the bookmarklet very easily:
1. Drag the bookmarklet to the link bar.
2. Open the properties of the bookmarklet by right-clicking on the link.
3. Copy the URL (firefox browser: "Location") into a text editor.
4. Look for .com (there are ofcourse mans .com endings, just choose one) and paste the following BEHIND it:
+OR+site%3XYZ.com
5. Replace XYZ.com with the URL of the blogg you want to add to the bookmarklet.
6. Copy the whole text (it's actually a small java script) back to the properties of the bookmarklet and the press OK. THAT'S IT!

Update #2
Sometimes you get YAHOO deliveres many results from the same webpage. Those results are weblogs running on the great antville software. I guess this is because every blog-entrie is "stored" on the frontpage , has it's own page and it's also stored in a category page. This means the results provided by YAHOO can easily be double. If this happens, go directly to the weblog and use the weblog internal search function. Antville weblogs are having a search function.
