Set Initial Query from URL Query Parameter in Elfeed Web

[debanjum]

What

• Previously
  • The initial query was hard-coded to @3-days-ago
• Now
  • Set initial query to load entries in elfeed-web via url query parameter, i.e ?q=<custom-initial-query>

Illustration

• Open <elfeed-url>/elfeed/?q=%2bimportant%20%4030-days-ago in web browser
• This sets initial query to +important @30-days-ago
• And loads entries tagged as "important" from >30-days-ago

Why

• Simplify customizing initial query to use for loading entries
• Create browser bookmarks to your standard elfeed filters. Especially useful when accessing elfeed web via phone as a web app. Reduce unnecessary typing for accessing standard filters.
