Traditional search was not on the original roadmap for our blogosphere/indieweb discovery project. But with the framework and data in place, it was easy enough to add a no-frills search function.

In addition to the normal search result info, each post has a link to the Outer Web graph where you can see that page's web neighbors.

Thanks! If you're asking if we leveraged a pre-canned dataset, we did not. We gathered page data the old fashioned way, using hyperlinks and rss for depth and breadth.

That was somewhere near the top of the backlog but this is as good a reason as any to start it tonight. Should be live in a day or two.
