Tell Google your website’s geographic location

Did you know that you can now tell Google which country or geographic location your website should be associated with? You can set the geographic location via the Google Webmaster Tools.

Via the Google Webmaster Central Blog :
“The information you give us will help us determine how your site appears in our country-specific search results, and also improves our search results for geographic queries.”

Google Reader has a Search

Thats right Google Reader finally has a search box. I had been wishing for a search box for ages and finally its here.

Reader Search lets you use keywords to find items in your subscriptions. If you subscribe to someone’s shared items, it’ll search those too.

Other Reader enhancements:

  1. You can now hide the side navigation by clicking on the separator to its right.
  2. Unread counts now go to 1,000
  3. Reader now behaves like every other web page and lets you use the forward and back buttons to move between folders and subscriptions that you’ve navigated to.

No search in Google Reader?

Lately have started reading feeds via Google Reader and realized that there is no way to search within your subscribed feeds. Would have thought Google would include a Gmail type search. I know you can add a Star or tag but still.
