When using the keyword feeds created using Yahoo News, when I try to view the full article text, I receive the message (without the quotes):

"Could not access http// . . . "

This occured for all the articles that were delivered in the feed.

When I set the feed to use Google News instead of Yahoo, I similarly had difficulty obtaining the full text of most articles. In addition, with the Google-News-based feed, the summary was in the usual Google-News format that shows only the text within a certain span of words surrounding a found search term. While that seems to work well enough online at the Google News site, I find the summary on the Free News Reader feed to be less intelligible (is it possible that the span of words surrounding the search term is smaller in the feed than what Google News displays on its website?).

None of the above issues affected my use of the keyword feeds on Free News Reader prior to the switch to Yahoo/Google.

Our update inadvertantly broke full-story for yahoo and google search feeds. I am posting the fix today.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you on this.
