Test checklist

Launch the app.
Confirm the search field appears under the category row.
Search for a visible source name.
Confirm the feed filters locally.
Search for a visible category.
Confirm matching stories remain.
Search for nonsense text such as zzzzzz.
Confirm the native no-results screen appears.
Tap Clear search.

Tap a story while search is active.
Confirm the native article detail screen opens.
Tap Saved and confirm Feature 1 still works.

Why this helps App Review

Apple rejected the first build because the app looked too much like aggregated web content. This update adds native search behavior inside the app, giving users an interactive way to explore and organize the feed without simply browsing external links.
