A search feature should be mandatory in any self-respecting blog software. Too often I find myself visiting blogs knowing (or hazily thinking I remember) that that person commented in some specific way on a topic that is of interest to me.
If the blog tool provides a Search box, as Movable Type does on this blog, it is very much easier to find what I am looking for.
A blog without a Search box is like a book without an index.
If something was worth saying in the first place surely it is also worth indexing and allowing search functionality.

You can also use advanced features of Google to constrain your searches to a specific domain.
