They Search For You

One of the most useful websites in British politics is They Work For You which:

takes open data from the UK Parliament, and presents it in a way that’s easy to follow – for everyone. So now you can check, with just a few clicks: are They Working For You?

...but building complex searches for civil society matters, and accessing such searches in a consistent way (RSS is handy, but sometimes you want to look something up right now and on a mobile device) can be challenging.

Thus: They Search For You — curated search for civil society purposes.

RSS Feeds and OPML

All searches cite associated RSS feeds, however on occasion the search query which powers those feeds may be improved or updated, and you will not receive warning of those changes because the feed comes from TheyWorkForYou and resubscription will be necessary.

To help address this, we publish two resources:

...so from time to time you should be able to delete all feeds and re-import them via OPML, watching the Update feed for a trigger.

important: if you download the OPML file, beware that your browser might add or replace the .opml suffix with .txt.

Suggestions and Improvements

If you would like to see something added or removed, please log an issue (Github account required) or message me on Twitter.

nb: I am aware that the search keyword syntax I've written is much more limited than the TWFY website allows, and that in a couple of places I am kludging around this; for the moment I am content, and will see how it develops.
