Yahoo Blog Search Engine Gone Forever ?

Yahoo! Blogs search engine was removed from the Yahoo! News homepage some two months ago and it's nowhere in sight yet.

Initial rumours suggested that Yahoo! may have taken the tool offline in order to completely revamp the blog seach engine in order to bring it at par with Techorati, Ask.com or Google blog search.



Unfortunately, that has not been the case so far. The old Yahoo blog search homepage (blog.news.search.yahoo.com/) now silently redirects visitors to the Yahoo News search page (news.search.yahoo.com/).

There's no single update on the official Yahoo! Search blog or Jeremy Zawodny's blog. Makes me wonder if this is the silence before the storm or the storm is dead ? I would put my money on the latter assumption. What are your thoughts ?
