Google Reader Gets Search

It makes sense to have search functionality in Google Reader, which they added today, seeing as how it’s a Goolge product. That’s not the point of this post though, the point is to mention that after the addition of search, Google Reader no longer works in Opera.

With the recently released Opera 9.2.3 came improvements to some of the sites I use frequently, in particular the Google products - Reader, Gmail and Calendar (Google Docs hasn’t worked in Opera since as long as I’ve been using it). Those improvements alone have allowed me to begin using Opera more frequently, so much so that I’m a recent convert (the rendering speed & interface response is blazing compared to that clunker called Firefox).

The latest update to Google Reader may pose some problems however, as nothing other than the logo displays correctly:

Update: Although Google Reader doesn’t officially support Opera, they had it working again 24 hours later.
