Is this big news? I can not decide as I have not spent a lot of time exploring what you can and can not do with the new Google search engine. I guess it is significant in the sense that if Google is offering a blog search then that makes this Blog thing seem for real..... Although I have known it is for real for a long time now. In any case, If you have not checked it out yet click on the link below and give it a try.
Link: Google Blog Search
I think it is important because it brings blogs to the masses...just like iTunes did with Podcasting with the 4.9 version.
Google is a household name and now that there is a "specific" Google blog search engine, getting that info will be much easier than the average person trying to use Technorati, PubSub or Feedster (if they have even heard of those sites).
If it involves information and search capabilities to find that info, you can bet that Google wants to be there to provide the service.
