Google News is a real-time database of 50,000 global news sources. When you create a feed, you can save a keyword search to track the latest news articles.
Organizing Google News feeds within your feedly is a powerful method to monitor keywords and topics on the web. Using these feeds, you can track product or brand mentions, names, phrases, keywords, hashtags, or whatever you follow on the web.
Google News feeds become even more powerful when they are integrated with the rest of your daily content in one place.
Create a Google News feed
If you have a feedly Pro or feedly Team account, you can use the premium Power Search function to create a Google News feed within feedly.
To do this, go to the search bar in the upper right hand corner of your feedly. Type in your search term or topic.
Scroll down to “search under Google News” under the search category.
Once you have your Google News feed, you can save it to a feedly Collection so that all of your reading is in one place.
Save this search to your feedly by clicking the “+feedly” button.
You can either create a new Collection for the feed (shown above) or add it to an existing one.
Create a Google News feed on mobile
You can create a Google News feed just as easily from your iOS or Android device.
To do this, open your feedly app. Go to your search bar. Type in your search term. Tap on the search bar. Then tap “stories in Google News.”
Your Google news feed will appear.
To save the feed to your feedly tap the “+” icon on the upper right. Select an existing Collection(s) or create a new one.
Make your search specific
You can use search operators to make your search more specific. Here are some of the operators you can use:
- “” – To search for a phrase, you can use quotation markets (ex. “Search term”).
- AND + – You can use AND or + to ensure two words appear in an article, but don’t necessarily have to be next to each other (ex. Tesla AND earnings).
- – – You can use a minus sign (-) to exclude words within a search. So if you are looking for the latest developments in swift key but are disinterested in Taylor Swift articles, you can include “-Taylor” in your search and any article with the word taylor will not be in the feed.
- OR – You can also use OR to run a single search for more than one phrase or word (ex. tesla OR “electric car”).To do this, open your feedly app. Go to your search bar. Type in your search term. Tap on the search bar. Then tap “stories in Google News.”
- ~ – You can use this ~ symbol in front of a word to search for synonyms.
- Site: – You can use site: in front of a URL to search within one site domain. So if you are looking for more Forbes articles about Tesla, you could do “site:forbes.com Tesla”
- Intitle: – You can use intitle: in front of a search term to only search within headlines.
- Allintext: – You can this allintext: in front of a word to search only within the text of a page.
- Allinurl: – Will search for articles with search terms solely in the URL.
