Sphere has gone live and from what I can tell so far it kicks ass.

I don’t think they’ve actually hit the official launch time yet so maybe they’ll slow down once they get a deluge of traffic. My test searches though have been fast and accurate which is a nice change from some of the other blog search offerings.

I’ll definitely be using Sphere some more.
