Features Here are a few summaries of the many features you get with your Research Hound subscription.

Extra Feeds
With any plan, you can add extra feeds so that you can create extremely filtered results, which improve the quality of your search results. Extra feeds are billed at a reduced cost and can be added through your Feed Control Panel on www.researchound.net.

Auto-Approve
This feature is used primarily for mobile, desktop and widgets, but is available under any feed. You can create a set of rules that will allow you to automatically have results Approved to show in your feed without you having to approve the results. This option should be used with care for business-web sites since it may post an article you do NOT wish to post without review. You can create a list of words that your articles MUST contain to automatically publish to your feed, plus a set of filter keywords or phrases that your article MUST NOT contain! This provides you with a new level of control over the information you receive!

Remember: Any article that is approved can be archived or ignored (removed) from your feed at any time through your Feed Control Panel on www.researchound.net.

Manual Approval
This built-in workflow process is used to filter content that actually gets placed in your feed, so that information you do not wish to post on your web site is ignored (removed). During this step of the process, you can also classify your news into buckets for filtered display. See Classification for more information on how that works.

RSS Compliant
Research Hound provides feed data via a standard (secured) RSS feed! That means that ANY RSS reader will work for your feed! Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, and any other RSS reader out there! Plus we provide our own custom desktop reader that you can download for FREE!

Classification
Research Hound knows that all the information you get back may need to be placed into “buckets” and presented separately or grouped somehow for easy use. Therefore, we allow you to define your own classifications to apply to your feed so that you can filter and group your NEWS anyway you want! One classification is created for the feed by default called “General” and that is the default bucket used.

Multiple Domains
The Premium level of Research Hound really opens the door to information management for virtually any situation! You can license Research Hound Feeds to multiple domains under one account and manage those feeds from your Feed Control Panel.

Reselling Research Hound
For those of you who develop web sites for others and want to provide the features of Research Hound News to your web site(s), we have added the multiple domain features to our Premium package! Each Feed can have a separate domain registered, and the billing falls under one account! This allows you to use research hound in a hosted environment and keeps the billing simple and direct!

FetchFilter
Not only can you created keywords for your article search, but you can define feed by feed filters for the gathering process that says “Once you find an article, make sure it doesn’t contain this word, phrase or character!” to improve you search results and filter out those unwanted articles that are posted over and over again and clutter up your articles!
