In addition to the Google Now integration, this update to Feedly for Android also brings better search auto-completion.

Finally, for those who use the Pro features of Feedly for Android (a $5 per month upgrade) is now available in the app. Prior to this update, this feature was only available on the Feedly website.
To use Feedly for Android you will need a free Feedly account which can be linked to your Facebook, Microsoft or Google account for easy sign-up. The app is designed for both tablets and phones.
