Article archive: every article of the feeds you follow is kept, and you can search it years back
Inoreader keeps what your feeds have published, long after the publisher's own feed has moved on, so you can still find an article from two years ago with a search.

What it does
Most feeds list only their latest items, and most readers keep only what they have shown you. Inoreader keeps the articles themselves. From the day it first fetches a feed, it stores every article, so when you subscribe, the feed's history is already there for you to scroll through and search. Nothing expires with age. You can find a post from years ago with a keyword, then tag it, save it, have it read aloud or export it, just like an article from this morning.
The archive belongs to the feed, so everyone who follows it reads the same history, however long ago they subscribed. When you want an article in your own collection, save it or tag it, and it stays with you even if you later unfollow the feed.
How it works
- Open a feed and scroll past its latest items. Older articles load as you go, back to the first one Inoreader collected.
- Search the feed, the folder or your whole account for a phrase you remember. The result can be years old.
- Tag or save the articles that matter, so they stay in your account even if you later unfollow their feed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far back does a feed go?
A feed's articles are kept from the day Inoreader first saw the feed. For most feeds, that is years before you subscribed, because someone else was already following them. New articles are added as they are published, and nothing is dropped because it is old.
Can I read articles the feed no longer lists?
Yes. A publisher's feed usually holds the last ten or twenty items, but Inoreader holds everything it has collected, so you can read the feed's history by scrolling or with search.
Is the archive searchable?
Yes. Search covers every article of your feeds, whatever its age, by keyword, phrase and operators. On Pro, filters narrow the results by time and language.
Do I need to save articles to keep them?
No. Every article of the feeds you follow stays in Inoreader whether you read it or not. Save or tag an article only when you want it in your own collection, for example so that it stays with you after you unfollow its feed.
Can I take it with me?
Yes. On Pro, you can export any folder or tag as an output feed. You can also save articles as PDF and export your subscriptions as OPML at any time.
If I unfollow a feed, does it keep its history?
The articles stay in Inoreader as long as the feed has readers, and if you follow it again, its history is back. Articles you tagged or saved stay in your account either way.
