Google, the search company with searchless products.

It is odd isn’t it. Google have one of the best online feed readers on the market but it has absolutely no search capability. Zero, nada, no way to keyword search through the entire history of the feeds that I subscribe to. That is just plain wrong for a Google product. Every time I try find an old post I end up switching to the Google Blog Search but that does not restrict result to feeds I have subscribed to with Google Reader.

What a mess. But apparently Google realise that it is a mess. Poor Microsoft, trying to bully their way into search, are making a bigger and far more extensive mess.
