Good idea. But aren't there plugins on WPMU Dev that do it ? I use Google myself, and I'm happy with it for now.
And while we on Wordpress.com, I like the featured blog feature. I would love a simple plugin that could output a list (or one) of blogs that are marked featured in Site Admin.

Nice to see someone explain what they personally mean by "featured blog."
Is there one to do this instead depending on Google server products?
We have a site that uses the Google Mini. (My one and only colocated box) She hit the 50k page limit right off though and had to upgrade. (It's a bit of a chunk of money) Nice to have but they have folks who switch back and forth from private to public and dealing with that is a pain.
If you're using one of the sitewide tag solutions (ie mine, Donncha's or someone elses) it drops all of the posts into a separate blog. Should be easy to setup a search to search just that blog. That's what most of our clients do. The URLs stored would direct folks to the blog posts in question.

There's currently not one but you can build one based on the Post Indexer plugin.
This is something we'd consider coding but it won't be for a couple of months. We've already got our plugins for next month ready to go.
Thanks,
Andrew

We actually have a series of 'frontpage plugins' and one of them does just what you described. We'll be releasing these plugins later this year.
We're basically working our way back to the original plan we had for this site which is where we release plugins each month.
Thanks,

I took the one from http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3083 and made some modifications to the code that builds up the common set of tables and then coded up my own search page and tweaked my .htaccess file so I can do things like http://canalplan.blogdns.com/blog/words/chester
