4.1 Startup in Detail

Once you’ve setup your score file (see The Score File), and started elfeed-score (see Starting elfeed-score), any new entries will be scored automatically, but the entries already in your database have not yet been scored. Scoring is idempotent in that scoring an entry more than once will always result in it having the same score assigned. This means you can load an Elfeed search, and then, in the Elfeed search buffer *elfeed-search*, score all results with elfeed-score-score-search, or = v. When the command completes, the view will be re-sorted by score. Your score file will also have been updated on disk (to record the last time that each rule matched).

Command: elfeed-score-score-search

Score the current set of search results.

You can configure score logging by setting the variable elfeed-score-log-level.

User Option: elfeed-score-log-log-level

Level at which ‘elfeed-score’ shall log; may be one of ’debug, ’info, ’warn, or ’error.

By default it will be 'warn, which will produce very little output. To trouble-shoot a balky rule, type

(setq elfeed-score-log-log-level 'debug)

re-score your current view (= s), and switch to buffer *elfeed-score*.

You can also trouble-shoot rules using the “explain” feature below.
