Currently, you have to create the new label, assign your feeds to it, and then delete the other label, which strangely is referred as a "tag" in the subscription management area. These are all kinks that Google has heard about and will address with a new iteration. Just be thankful for the fact that it is already the best reader out there.

Where is the friggin Search Box in reader.google.com. They should stop buying companies and instead improve there core stuff more! concerning search: The thing I do not like about the common search engines is, that they do not recognize documents with similar content. It happens often on the Web that a post or document is spread out over more then 50 websites. Now that is great for the author but not for the searcher because it blows up your search result unnecessarily. With InfoCodex this will not happen because the linguistical database recognizes similar documents and puts them into groups. This does not blow up your search result unnecessarily. http://www.ywesee.com/pmwiki.php/Ywesee/InfoCodexProcedure Three things a modern Search engine should do: 1. Automatically classify a document according to its content. 2. Automatically generate an abstract of a document. 3. Generate a Heat-Map of the Contents of a Search Result. http://www.ywesee.com/uploads/Main/InfoCodex_22.2.2007.pdf yeah friggin yeah friggin yeah!

Google Reader allows me to quickly skim through & read numerous feeds. Most of the time, I only read the headline. Sometimes, I'll read the snippet. Rarely, I'll click & read the whole page. I was chatting w/ a friend the other day and needed to find something I remember seeing in Google Reader. Luckily, I knew the source so I went to that feed, selected "all items" and started scrolling. This particular feed has about 20 items per day, and what I was looking for was about 2 weeks old. Sometime later, I found the story, and was able to share the link. Now since I knew so much about what I was looking for, if I had a search box, I wouldn't have to scroll through nearly 280 items to find the link. I suppose I could have went to the source site and used their search engine (assuming they have one), but I'll go back to the obvious: this is GOOGLE! With search everywhere else, why not here?

Just use the Google toolbar. While I admit that it’s a little odd to not have the search box in Reader, I’ve never found it to be a problem. Just use the Google toolbar.
