Hello,

Is it possible to create/install a bot that searches the web for news articles containing some keywords, and have the bot post those news articles in a special ''news'' section on your forum?

Don't think anything exists that does what you're asking tbh.  The two RSS poster mods mentioned above will indeed do the posting for you, but they won't search for content via keywords etc, you have to find the RSS address yourself and add it to the mods settings.

Neat idea though, I could make use of that sort of thing myself. ;)

Thank you for the suggestions everyone. I think the RSS feed poster will do for now :).
