Why Oh Why Can I Not Search RSS Content in IE7

I don't know of any mechanism to search my RSS feeds within IE 7. Does anyone know how? It bothers me to no end. My solution is to export and bring it into Onfolio (I had Onfolio before Microsoft purchased). I wish Microsoft would have just used Onfolio as it's RSS mechanism embedded in IE 7. Instead it will wilt on the vine.

I haven't yet decided if I want to use Outlook 2007 but I don't think it ties into the Vista RSS which IE 7 does. I guess I need to check that out. Obviously Onfolio doesn't tie into Vista's RSS native support.

But in the end... do you know a way to search IE 7 RSS????

Michael,

I gave up on rich-client feed readers long ago.  Sure, they have some nice features, but it seems now-a-days that they're just trying to do too much (although it appears the IE7 reader is trying hard enough).  The unfortunate side-effect is that they end up taking up too much system resources (memory, namely) to do all their voodoo sorting and searching magic.  This has a negative impact to my primary development tool, Virtual PC, which works better when it can have as much memory and CPU possible :).

A friend turned me on to Bloglines.com a while ago, which I really liked.  However, now I use Google Reader (http://google.com/reader).  It's awesome.  Searching is lightning fast (of course), it's very AJAX'ish, and they keep adding features every day.  And there is some nice integration with Gmail and the Personalize Google Homepage.

Check it out!
