Customize
Visitors can personalize their news content:
- Set which categories appear on the homepage
- Exclude specific news sources
- Alter which feeds appear in the feed menu
- Create new feeds based upon search queries
There are two methods visitors can save their settings:
- COOKIE A private cookie on the visitor's browser (default)
- SESSION Logged into the ZAQS members database
When active, the current settings method will appear as a label on the top menu of the website.
ZAQS Search
- Searches only the headline titles, not the content of the articles
- Converts/views all headlines and queries as lower-case, skips/restricts most non-alphanumeric characters
- Terms should be space separated, with preceding the keyword + for include, - for exclude, and "" for exact quoting of keyphrases
- Only returns first 1000 results found, not necessarily the newest, so refine large searches for better results
