It’s pretty basic you can search the posts title or body.  What makes it a little bit cool is that I can search for a specific tag and there is a check box to …

After I added weights to the feed I modified the feed list.  I first removed feeds with less then 5 posts or weight > 1 as I can pick these up in the latest list and keep them from cluttering my feed list.  I tried ordering the feeds by weight but that made finding a specific one difficult.  Now they …
