The orientation of this paper is at first to review the techniques used on the weblogs search options, or any other available assistants to reach a weblog over the internet. Continue with an explanation on the ambiguity problem among the weblogs. Next, identify if any RSS aggregator comes with a solution. Besides reviewing the available techniques on relevancy measurement, an experiment is performed to test if user assisting in keyword search able to improve the aggregated results to a more relevant of collection. Subsequently, the result concluded a satisfactory list of weblogs collected after benchmarking the list of weblogs collected from Feed Demon. Paper ends with the future works.
