Developing a news dashboard from Google News
HI voldemortlucky,
#1, Sure, you can take a look at the video that uploaded by Chris webb. (his blog shared lot of blogs about power query usages)
Accessing API and web service data using Power Query - by Chris Webb - YouTube
#3, AFAIK, current power bi default filter and visuals did not support these type of searching features. For this scenario, I'd suggest you to check the custom visuals about text keyword searching to confirm if someone design custom visual that suitable for you requirements.

HI voldemortlucky,
#1, You can consider to add new query tables that designed with web connector and rest api to getting data from those news sites.
#2, In fact, these should not be suitable to be processed on power bi side. Perhaps you can consider to use AI tool to do some pre-processing on these results records extract these articles keyword and store the them to a new field.
Then you can use the keyword field to exclude this similar news from different source.
#3, I'd like to suggest you use the custom visual text filter to input search string, then you can setting the visual itself not displayed when not filter applied to it.

Thanks a lot Xiaoxin,
1) I think I get your suggestion in principle but I'm a beginner and not entirely sure how to check if a table has "web connector and rest api" to get data. Appreciate if you'd have any further guide or videos to point me at the right direction for this.
2) This sounds above my capability with PowerBI. I may just have to live with it or find another way but thank you.
3) I'm not entirely sure what you mean because wouldn't using custom visual text filter just filter on pre-imported data? I was looking for a feature when user can put in their own text and the dashboard would then update the list with articles containing that keyword. Or am I misinterpreting what you was trying to say?
