You can make your own feed with the latest posts based on any search criteria:
- Enter any search criteria in the search box (in the main navigation menu) and hit "search"
- Just above the search results, you will see an RSS button next to the search box:

- Click the RSS button and your feed will be generated on the spot
- Save that URL in your RSS reader or bookmarks. It will be automatically updated each time new items on your search topic are posted
- Some tips and tricks on searches:
- For exact matches, put quotes around phrases "Gulf oil spill" will only return search results which contain that exact phrase "Gulf oil spill". If you search for Gulf oil spill, the results will return any post contain the individual words Gulf, or oil, or spill.
- Make sure you make the search "general" enough. For instance if you are interested in IDP's then use as search argument: IDP OR "Internally Displaced" OR "Internal Displaced" rather than just IDP. "OR" has to be in capital letters!
- If you want to narrow down your search, use the "AND" (again in capital letters). If you look for posts related to hunger in Ethiopia due to climate change, then your search argument would be hunger AND Ethiopia AND "climate change".
- You can force the inclusion or exclusion of terms using the + and - signs: Haiti +shelter will look for all posts containing the word "Haiti", and then narrow that search down to those also containing the word "shelter". Haiti +shelter -hurricane will return all posts containing "Haiti" and "shelter", but not contain the word "hurricane"
3. Make your own Email alerts for your customized feeds
Using Feedburner, you can create your own Feedburner feed with the URL of your search, as generated in the previous step. You can then subscribe by email to that feed, to get an automated daily update with the newest items in your customized feed.
