"We have also replaced the ailing Blogbar search widget with a better version from Lijit. When you want to quickly put your finger on something from the Light-Work archives, type a key word or phrase in the search box, hit enter, and let the magic begin."
"Wow, to be able to direct your readers to information that you deem as trustworthy and accurate. It is the opposite of a Google search in that the results are quality based (based on them being “trusted” by you), versus quantity based (Google)."
"Lijit provides an impressive search network creation dashboard where you can define and manage your trusted social networks connections. Basically you are creating your own search engine that searches your blog, bookmarks, photos, blog roll, and more…"

"I recently installed Lijit and am loving it. Lijit allows viewers of your blog to search the content on your blog (and that of anyone in your network as you define, which in my case is my blogroll). It also has a cool feature called re-search which provides other search results to users who arrived from a search engine."

"Lijit search is like putting your blog on steroids. It unifies your content and makes it searchable."
"Not only is (Lijit) an effective search engine, but it also lists the most popular search words and that helps me to know what you're interested in reading about."

"When Feedburner/Google discontinued blog networks a few months back, Todd Vernon and the folks at Lijit were nice enough to provide a home for the SBN. More then just an aggregated feed, the folks at Lijit gave us a real home for the SBN that in the future will become we hope the home of a vibrant community."
