Full text search
allow me to search the full text of the posts. currently search only searches the text of the post's titles, which i usually don't recall. if i remember a random detail that caught my interest, and want to find the post based on that, it should be doable. google reader functions this way, and it would never have occurred to me that the old reader would only search titles. despite loving the old reader overall, this single shortcoming could really make or break my experience.

This is quite important! Right now I use the old reader mostly for academic journals. I can't even search by author!!!!

And generally improve the search function. I regularly search for "Taiwan" and it misses recent and current articles in my feeds that has the word "Taiwan" both in the headline and in the text.

YES! I didn't even realize it wasn't searching the full text, I just thought I was remembering what I was looking for, or that the search wasn't working properly! (It's fairly normal to assume a search box searches the full text unless it is labeled otherwise)
