Not to be confused with the dashboard search operator, this one is for blog visitors. The search operator for the blog search is not documented by the Blogger Help support page but it's not that far off from the feed API.
When performing a search in a blog, you would see few parameters appended to blog URL, for example:
https://xmlexpr.blogspot.com/search?q=blog&updated-max=2022-05-22T18:41:00%2B07:00&max-results=20&start=20&by-date=false
Here's what each one does:
q
(Likely stands for "query")
Search a matching terms within blog posts. Not necessarily a plain text, it could also match HTML tags. It's possible to combine both label and query search by using a label filter in q parameter.updated-max
Retrieve posts published before a certain date. Quite a misleading name despite its function.max-results
Limit the number of returned search result entries (in this case, blog posts). If not provided, the default limit is 20.start
Set the starting index of the sorted/filtered search result entries. The minimum and default value is 1.
On my memo, there's this one mystery search parameter that I haven't figured out what is it for:
by-date
🌳 Label Search
To search posts with a specific label, the URL is:
https://xmlexpr.blogspot.com/search/label/LabelName
And if you want to search for posts that contains two or more labels, join them with a plus (+
) sign:
https://xmlexpr.blogspot.com/search/label/Label1+Label2
🌳 Add Keywords To Label Search
Query operator doesn't work on label search, so you would have to go back using the regular search and add the label:
search operator.
The following URL perform a search for "javascript" term within posts filtered by "Blogger Development Series" label.
https://xmlexpr.blogspot.com/search?q=javascript+label:"Blogger Development Series"
If you want to filter the posts by two or more labels, add more label name with a plus (+
) sign:
https://xmlexpr.blogspot.com/search?q=javascript+label:Label1+Label2
