Extra caution is recommended when installing recently uploaded/updated scripts (read more)
Be sure you trust any scripts you install

Google Reader Search

Adds a search box in Google Reader.

Now you have 2 input and 1 select.

The defaults values are in these 3 variables:

MAXNEWS -> Max news to search on

xmltimeout -> timeout for the cache in ms

sortOrder -> 'm' -> auto; 'n' -> newest; 'o' -> oldest

-Future plan is to add textboxes to modify these parameters within the page and to get the UID directly from the page- DONE

Future now is to add error control for the input boxes

Feel free to tell me other google reader servers (e.g. http://google.it/reader ) I'll add them to the script

+Fixed hardcoded URL+

+Added italian servers+

+Search is now case-insensitive and is a regexp, if you want to search an entire word add a space at the begin and one at the end+

Just a few suggestions to your wonderful script :

line 151, it works better if I use the link[0] (address of the post) instead of link[1] (adress of the source site). These addresses can be different with feeds from "planets", ie feed aggregators. So my line 151 looks like this :
var url=entry.getElementsByTagName("link")[0].getAttribute('href');

I also made the close button a bit more visible, by adding this line after line 134 (so now line 135 is) :
closeb.setAttribute('style', 'font-weight:bold; color:white; background-color:red; border:1px solid #BB0000;');

Keep up the good work :-)

Sorry, I may have spoken too quickly. The search results do not appear to be consistent with what I have set up the parameters and the algorithm seems a bit slow. I think a little more explanation is needed. Perhaps if I give it much more time or if I cut down my subscriptions considerably the script would perform as expected.

Works for starred items as is (must have been updated). This is a very nice addition for Google Reader fans, great work!

Update on my post below: I deactivated the Better Greader add-on and the new script search works find without the loss of starring and page links

The chance to have a search feature in google reader was too good to pass up. I installed it and now the starred items have disappeared and the link at the end of the posting title!! How do I get them back?
