FeedDemon & Search Throttling

Finally found a few dollars to purchase Nick Bradbury’s FeedDemon. I tested a number of other feed readers out during the past couple of months, and while there are a few things some of them had that I would like to see integrated into FeedDemon—mainly Atom, which Nick has now available in the FeedDemon 1.10beta, [...]
