TADA- and finally- Google Reader with SEARCH

finally the one killer app from the Google stable (the only 'app' other than search i actually use more than once a week) has search integrated into it...

though there are some major contextual stuff that tey have to still factor in (which i feel is a must)... the ranking algorithm is somewhat different in my opinion...

just think about this- i'd expect that one normally starts searching most of the time for something that one has already come across.. and so something like the basic fact that i have actually read an item which contains this search term might just imply that i am more likely to be coming back searching for it... not *in my case* some random news blog which i never even browsed through shining through irrelevantly at the top of the result list..

deep sigh ... maybe i am not the 'ideal' user for them... but then, my mom doesn't use reader either...

  2. nice stuff...but then a blog ideally should be a gateway to your other creative side....you dont expect people to appreciate algorithms & data mining out here, do you?
