For lack of writing of personal post topics, here is some more filler material.
As people have found it useful to be able to search multiple labels in GMail, I spent a few more brain cycles figuring how to hack multiple label searches in Blogger. Here is a functional approximation using the blog feed. For more details, see the Google Data APIs Protocol Reference.
This requires a browser that displays feeds nicely, such as Firefox or Netscape.
To find posts labeled with all of multiple labels:
http://<subdomain>.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/<label1>/<label2>/.../<labelN>
In other words, the blogspot feed URL, followed by /- to indicate the beginning of a list of labels, followed by the slash-separated label names.
For example, to find all posts on this blog labeled both dance and fashion:
http://waltz.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/dance/fashion
Negations (exclude a label) and disjunctions (or) are not supported yet:
http://waltz.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/dance/-fashion
http://waltz.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/dance%7Cfashion

I wonder if there are some other blog sites offering such a solution in a "fair" way.
Anyway, that's a really good work, and i'll use it in my blog.
Would be much better though if there was a more convenient way to use this method, maybe involving some Javascript to minimize manual typing-job while searching.
To show result, there are already some hacks to do this, like AJAX Label. And Blogger already has a feed control to show rss and atom. Then add some way to make query, you get a search.
For searching other blog, try use JSONP or Google Feed API.
I has done some tryout, but my blog is in chinese. It accepts input like Label/Label/Label for multiple labels search, and to search local blog, you can drag and drop from label cloud below. Click [+/-...], there are more options: blog url, order by published or updated, and date range.
Technorati also can do multiple tags search. To search posts with jquery and prototype tags in ajxaian.com, try this. Technorati advanced search page seems has no input to limiting target site for tags query. So add the "from" parameter manually and the query url works.
Hope this will help.
In my case, I touch on a lot of different issues that aren't relevant to relevant to all subscribers as in the case of my multiple issues blog.
I don't want to manage seperate blogs, so this will be great to burn custom feeds with!
Thanks!
In the search box type:
"label:[labelname1], label:[labelname2]" etc. for all the labels you want to search.
Thanks
Your post saves me.
Thanks a lot!:D
