You can filter the list of items either by typing part of the title or the ID number.

[[Image:Help30-Components-Newsfeeds-Feeds-title-filters-subscreen.png]]

If you have a large number of items on the list, you can use this filter to find the desired item(s) quickly. Enter either part of the title or an ID number and press 'Search' to display the matching items. You can type whole words or part of a word. For example, "ooml" will match all titles with the word "Joomla!" in them.

'''Filter by State, Category, Access, and Language'''

In the upper right area, above the column headings, there are 4 drop-down list boxes as shown below:

[[Image:Help30-Components-Newsfeeds-Feeds-other-filters-subscreen.png]]

The selections may be combined. Only items matching both selections will display in the list.

{{colheader|Select State}}
{{colheader|Select Category}}
*'''Select Access.''' Use the drop-down list box to select the access level.
*'''Select Language.''' Use the drop-down list box to select the language.

==Quick Tips==
*You need to add at least one Category for news feeds ''before'' you add the first feed. Categories are added using the [[Screen.categories.15|Category Manager]] by clicking on 'News Feeds', and then on 'Categories' in the 'Components' menu.
