Feature or improvement you want

Allow filtering a RSS feed using RegEx.
It would be able to search on keywords in the title and/or description.
It would also allow setting RegEx for tags: where you can select for which feed(s) the RegEx should be enabled.

Why should this be added?

It allows granular control of what articles you get to see.
So something you don't want to see gets filtered out.
Adding the functionality to tags is to sae the user time to not have to copy and paste the same everytime.
It also makes changing rules easier for multiple entries.

Screenshots / Drawings / Technical details

It would be a two fields under the feed and tag options.

• Title
• Description

Regex is not supported by SQLite so this can't be done in a reasonable way.

Should I close the issue as not planned?

99% of issues are not planned. Not a reason to close it

No.

• Extensions aren't available on Android, as far as I know
• Feeder is already using GLOBs

What about extending the keyword search to the articles themselves. For example, one of my feeds regularly has "sponsored" articles (advertisements). The title itself doesn’t say so, but the first word of the article is (Sponsored). Using wildcards and choosing where to look might be as close as is reasonable for SQLite if regex isn’t an option.
