Search added to Google Reader

September 6, 2007

When I made the switch from Attensa to Google Reader, one the first things that I noticed was that there was no Search function.

Something I noticed today, though, is that this (blindingly obvious omission!) has now been rectified:

If I was being hyper-critical, I would say that the new Search box look like it’s been plonked there with little or no thought about design aesthetic. I hope that in the next update they move it to the left-hand side, where the other functions live.

Despite that, it’s a welcome and much-needed improvement. The default is to search all items – both read and unread – but a drop down menu allows you to filter down by Starred, Shared, feed, folder or tag.
