The search widget provided by the blog plugin was built to be flexible enough to search at any scope within the system.  You can specify the scope when you include the widget.  There are three possible values for the scope:

Below is an example of how to include the search widget in the content area of the home page.  The widget will search the entire site.

<svc:page name="BlogHome">
  <svc:area name="content">
    <svc:include name="BlogSearchWidget">
      <svc:scope>site</svc:scope>
    </svc:include>
  </svc:area>
</svc:page>

Configure in AtomSite Manager ^new

Now you can easily choose the scope in the AtomSite manager.  Just browse to the area where you have the search widget and choose configure.

And you'll get a nice choose a scope dialog.

When searching at the collection scope, the search box will post to an address like:
http://example.com/{collection}/search.xhtml?term=

In single workspace mode, the search at service scope and workspace scope post to the same address:
http://example.com/search.xhtml?term=

In multi-folder workspace mode, the search will post to the following addresses for service, workspace, and collection scopes:
http://example.com/search.xhtml?term=
http://example.com/{workspace}/search.xhtml?term=
http://example.com/{workspace}/{collection}/search.xhtml?term=
