Interesting week in search, ending with a Google search engineer blowing up on accusations that when Google's search results suck, it has to do with monetization. Firefox is testing defaulting users to SSL Google which can be bad for marketers. Google made a change for some browsers that might label Google search traffic as direct referrer. Want more data on your crawl errors from Google Webmaster Tools? Then use the API. Google said HTML5 won't give you a boost in rankings but won't hurt you either. Blogger added a ton of SEO features finally. Google had logos for Juan Gris, first day of spring and St. Patrick's day logos. That was this past week in search at the Search Engine Roundtable.
