I'd like to be able to filter descriptions. Skyrimnexus.com has a feed that shows all new mods that are uploaded, but there are a few categories I don't want to see in the feed. Being able to filter by description would be perfect for this.

I looked at the Reader code and the part I'm trying to filter is the "snippet". I altered your code to be able to filter by snippet (thanks for making your code so readable!). I added these lines:

Line 320:

var entrySnippet = $this.find(".snippet");


Line 379:

var isSnippet = thisString.indexOf("snippet(")==0 && thisString[thisString.length-1]==")";


Line 393 - 397:

if(isSnippet)
{
thisString = thisString.substr(8,thisString.length-9);
textToSearch = entrySnippet.text();
}


The feed I was trying to filter is http://www.skyrimnexus.com/rss/latestfiles.php. As you can see in the feed, there is a "Description" tag and this appears in the "snippet" line of the feed in Google Reader. For instance, you might see "Skyrim > Armor" as a snippet next to the title (when usually a snippet of the body shows up there instead). I wanted to filter out certain types. The code change I made seems to do this.

Thanks for the great filter! I like it much better than the other one that's been around for a few years.

Thanks for updating, but I think I'll continue using my edited version. By making the body search snippets too, it filters too much in some cases. In the feed I'm filtering, for instance, I want to filter out anything in the "visuals" category (which only shows up in snippets) but don't necessarily want to filter out everything that has the word "visuals" in it.
