I agree. I'm using Feedly too and I find it way better than GReader.
Meaningful search (above top-3) is still not free. Which is honest and fair, but that worked pretty well in GReader and I'd consider it a regression. I still use it daily.
Their interface forgets I've read things, and their CSS has always been a huge fuck-up. Even after you turn off the stupid "magazine mode", it cuts off images at some small number of hundreds of pixels while there's a thousand pixels of whitespace to the right.
I switched to theoldreader.com and have been much happier.
