A very simple idea for improving search

Dave Winer’s idea for improving search:

Scripting News: 1/9/2006

Let me tell you where my weblog is. Then it knows what my interests are. Give me search results relevant to who I am.

That is a very cool idea, and I’d like to see the results from that search! It would also encourage people to start blogging, or blog more if they could improve their search results. If Google implemented this, I hope that they would allow you to use any URL as your identity, and not just a page in their blog network.

It’s somewhat related to the Outfoxed extension, but that only sorts the results from a Google search on a single page, ie it will move something to the top of page 1 only if it appeared on page 1 in the first place.
