Most people who know me know that I’m a bit of a Google fan when it comes to email, RSS, and organising my life with a calendar. Not only is everything online and accessible, but each of Google’s tools have a clean streamlined interface that gets out of the way and lets you get the job done.

Well today, Google Reader just got that much better. If your a user of Google’s RSS reader you’ve probably been frustrated in the past with its inability to search back through your feeds for that specific one you forgot to star and is now lost in the sands of time. Located above the main feed section there is now a search box with a handmade drop down menu that lists your folders and subscriptions. Now searching is as easy as selecting your category, smacking in your search terms, and clicking search.

I must say, it’s about time.

In addition to the search box the “Loading” notifier got an update as well. Instead of hogging the middle of the screen it’s now located at the top middle of the screen is smaller and has a little spinner to let you know it’s doing its thing. Very nice.
