Indexing is hard enough that it becomes a full-time job to do it well, and that takes time and money. Search is so hard that external search is necessary for many websites to exist outside of a void. If we expect blogs to have their own searching functionality, we end up with a collection of disjoint webs, and that would basically kill the web as we know it.
