They must have been too busy providing search functions for other sites that they forgot about putting it on one of their own product.

Or they have been searching for that” search” since it was misplaced a long time? Which explains the title of the post at the Google Reader blog — “We found it!” :)

Yeah Eric, I always found it odd that Google Reader never used search.

Guess they were waiting for the Bloglines redesign to put it out :)

I was all over this back in June in my post How Can Google Reader Have No SEARCH Box? -- Good to see they've responded. Finally.

On behalf of Google Reader users everywhere: It’s about time!

I wonder if the search indexes all the items in the feed or just from the point in time you subscribed to it. I must find a way to check that out.

One small point Arnold – with the sidebar in view, Google Reader posts are a maximum 580px wide. However, if you press the “u” key to hide the sidebar, the posts expand to the maximum width of your browser window.
