[VIM] scraping the Sun web site for alerts

[Stuart Moore]

Steve,

To solve the problem of not having the most recent alerts listed, try 
changing your queryKey4 to "security+availability" or 
"category:security+category:availability" instead of what you are using. 
  I can't explain why this works better, but it does.
