I have fixed couple of smaller bugs in this news feed feature (i.e. in the search/filter function), and made some improvements. Besides the scrollable list of news headlines, I've added also more detailed abstracts popping up in a separate box left of the news feed column when you move your mouse cursor over the news items. In this way, it gives you more information about the news article or forum post, without the need of clicking the link.
I also made persistent the filter/search expression, language selection, and the choice of the number of headlines - so that your last selection remains active at your next visit too. In this way you can easily filter the news so that only those that match your keywords show up.
You can use also complex logical expressions for the search filter such as
nitsch OR sietas
record AND blue hole AND NOT dahab
NOT deeperblue.net
You can also use quotes for exact matches - so for example
"STA" unlike
STA will find all items including the abbreviation STA, but not those including only
static or mu
stard. All searches are case insensitive.
