Google have just released a couple of important updates to the Google Reader application. The biggest update is the search feature that has now been added. It seems strange that it’s taken them this long to add it, but it’s here now and it works well. This also gives you the ability to search in your shared items which is great for keeping track of posts that you’ve shared.

The other feature, which I haven’t yet heard anyone else mention yet, is that they have updated the number that displays your unread items to a larger number. Previously if you had more than 100 unread items, it would just say “100+” whereas now it gives you the exact figure. I don’t know how high the new number goes, perhaps if it gets to over a thousand it will say “1000+”.
