Update 01/08/12:
body() filter now also works on snippets (snippets are available in list view, but body is not)
Added backup/restore function useful for reinstalling systems or matching up browsers (for advanced users). The feature will try to confirm that your restore is properly formatted.
Fixed up colors for quick filters

Update 12/12/11:
Small bug fix - sometimes when it loaded some additional items the filtering was not applied.
Kill switch button now contains a count of the amount of items filtered out out of total amount of items loaded.
By popular request I've also added an option to filter only the author line - author(filter text)

Update 11/24/11: Alright folks, it's back. Sorry it took a while but we're back in business. The script now works, and while I was in there I fixed filtering in list view as well.

Update 11/01/11: Latest GR redesign completely FUBARed the script. I'll attempt to fix it as soon as I can.

If you find any bugs, the best way to let me know is to email me: yuriysATgmail.com

Update 3/17/11: Quickest Filter (Q2F) is now available. This mill allow you to filter by the title w/out any typing. Q2F is available by pressing the [Q2F] button by the title or will be open automatically if the filter textarea is open.

Update 12/29/10: Changed the way storage was handled. Should now work in Firefox 4/Glove. Sorry this took so long =c/ But it seems to be working now.

Update 12/29/10(2 hours later): Took some googling and contortions but I think I got it to work on Chrome. If the new version breaks something for you, install an earlier version (under Source Code) and please let me know.

You may need to run Chrome with this switch:
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -enable-user-scripts

Next steps:
Add a "Temporary filter-kill switch" button
Add a click only way to add quick filters
Mark filtered entries as read

Description:
Adds a per feed or folder filtering for Google Reader. I tried to keep it looking more or less native to Google Reader. If you encounter any bugs please report here or email me at yuriys@gmail.com

Features:
Filter by title (simple substring match).
Quick Add (QF icon by each title)
Filter the body of the item by using body(filter text)
Filter only the author line - author(filter text) [Works only in expanded view]
Use Regular Expressions (JavaScript version). Format /regex filter/ or /case insensitive filter/i Regex is allowed in the body(/regex filter/)
If adding directly into the textarea you can double click to refresh the list with the current filters, other wise it will refresh when you click out of the textarea.
Toggling of the filter textarea is remembered per feed/folder.

Known Issues:
Sometimes if a lot of items are hidden from a new filter line, it will stop loading new items, but this can be easily fixed by a refresh.
If using space for navigation, sometimes acts a little weird because it's selecting invisible items. Clicking on an items works fine.
