Can RSS readers feed filter (on a per feed basis)
Adding to two earlier posts:
Generate a search feed from one feed
These mention my desire to filter each feed so I get only the precise content I want, lowering my information overload and available time.
As it turns out Bloglines does’nt enable this on an individual feed basis, only for all your feeds at once (search your subscriptions option)
The winner was Blogdigger by allowing to search within a feed by using the prefix “site:” or “blogID:” or even doing this within Blogdigger groups…what a gem!
But really I want to be able to do this in Bloglines.
Does anyone know of any RSS readers that can perform this function?
Here are some I haven’t checked out yet:
Awasu
Mysmart channels
PulpFiction
FeedDemon
WURLdbook
Frassle
Klipfolio
Lektora
Newzie
and the others…
On the benefits of all this…
Well it’s just as good or even better than subscribing to a category RSS feed…but let’s remember the content in a category feed is more about the content, whereas a search term RSS feed is just the appearance of a word.
If you are after filtering content in order to read precisely just what you are interested in; this is the way to go to help you with those RSS overload blues.
The flip of the coin is if you are too precise you may miss out on content that may still be relevant and you might comprise the chance of serendipity.
ADDED 05/05/05: Feedster can also search within one feed, generating a refined feed.

In the next release of Feedmarker, you’ll be able to subscribe to a filtered feed, so you’ll only see items that match your filter. Still working out the kinks.
