The built-in search in Akregator only scans article content. More advanced RSS readers, such as RSS Guard, also let you search by feed name — useful when you want to clean up your feed list, for example to find and remove duplicate feeds.

im surprised it wasnt already a feature
Yeah, I thought this is a common feature that any average rss reader would have had. But I do think there are certain unique advantages to akregator in that it fetches feeds incredibly fast, and it’s one of the very few rss readers that support folder hierarchies deeper than two levels. RSS Guard also supports multi-level folders, but it fetches much more slowly and appears to miss some feeds imported from my OPML file.
perhaps if it is a setting, users requiring speed can disable it and those requiring convenience can enable it. and by default it is enabled
Now that you mentioned it, and as I checked it out in the configurations, I did find out that you can enable the “find action” in the toolbar. But as it turns out that only applies to the commands not to the feeds themselves
I dont think it will be too hard to implement. an hour or two max. try making a feature request on akregator’s gitlab or github page
it has a GitHub page, but i assume its a clone of the one at Gitlab for some AI reasons as ive heard. perhaps this might be the right place to make the feature request
Yes, feature requests go there, just mark them as “wishlist”

You need to make an account
