Notes on news feed filtering

• If no optional filters are chosen, it will show a default feed.
• These filters are additive, meaning they will combine if you choose more than one. For example, if both "Category" and "Schools and Colleges" are chosen, the query would say "Give me all articles tagged as category=x AND schools_and_colleges=y". Usually, only one should be chosen in order to have news refresh at a better rate.
• For Categories only, you may choose multiple terms. This operates as an OR combination, for example, "Give me all articles tagged as news OR research"
