I created a IE Search Provider to submit a feed through the IE search
box and preview the feed in Google Reader, where I get a subscribe button that works much
better. To do this, follow the steps below and let me know what you think:
From IE, drop down the magnifying glass and select "Find More Providers". On the right side where it says Create Your Own, paste the URL as
"http://www.google.com/reader/preview/*/feed/TEST" and name it Google Reader. For Security Reasons (hehe) make sure you click the Install button.Now you are done. When you find a feed you want to subscribe to, paste it in the IE Search box
and select the provider as Google Reader. Once Google Reader loads, click the Subscribe button
in the upper right-hand corner and you are done.

# re: Google Reader Using IE Search Providers to Subscribe to Feed I tried your way but found that there were still to many steps. I was inspired, though and found
another way. Here's how I did it.
1. Create a blank htm file on your hard drive using Notepad.2. Add the htm file as a book mark in IE73. Copy and Paste the below script as the URL of the bookmark.
You can even set a shortcut key to fire it off if you want.
Here's the script that should be the URL of the bookmark.
javascript:var%20b=document.body;if(b){void(z=document.createElement('script'));void
(z.src='http://www.google.com/reader/ui/subscribe-bookmarklet.js');void(b.appendChild(z));}else
{location='http://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/'+encodeURIComponent(location.href)}
The script is from a Google Reader tip that only works in Firefox. They provide a shortcut to
drag to the bookmark bar which won't work in IE7 so I did it in FF and then copied the script
from there. 6/29/2007 2:14 PM James
# re: Google Reader Using IE Search Providers to Subscribe to Feed I tried Jame's method, but the javascript wouldn't run. Jeff, your method isn't as easy as I
would like, but it's the best I've seen so far. Thanks! 8/26/2007 12:46 AM Nate
