Temperamental RSS widget

    I’m not very wordpress savvy so please bear with the wrong terminology! My RSS widget was “http://news.google.com/news?q=poverty%20west%20bengal%20tea%20plantation%20india&output=rss”.
    It was working beautifully then started to tell me that there’s an error. Now it will work if I remove the word “poverty” but throws up links to the cost of tea rather than rather than life and happenings on the plantations which is what I want.

    I thought maybe I had too many words so I removed the word “west” but it still doesn’t work. I substituted the word “workers” instead of “poverty” and it still doesn’t work. So it works if I just use terms like tea/plantation/india/west/bengal but if I add or substitute workers/poverty/labour it won’t work!

    It seems to specifically dislike words I need to get the right result! Before i get paranoid and start thinking it’s being deliberately malicious can anyone help please?

    Good News!

    Using a lengthy Google SERPs URL is not working because it’s not a RSS feed URL that you are entering.
