Comment:

 We could change the default URI nonetheless. The Google blog search was
 never really good: very limited results, too much spam, and sometimes the
 feed is just not available (had this on two blogs in the last four weeks).

 I’m using icerocket.com now everywhere which finds usually more blog links
 than Google.

 Example:

 {{{
 http://www.icerocket.com/search?tab=blog&q=link%3Awordpress.org&rss=1
 }}}
