Hope for RSS searches
I have sung the virtues of RSS Bandit before, and with any luck I’ll soon have the perfect aggregator.
On one of the forums I recently requested that developers add the capability to export individual feed folders; currently, RSS Bandit only exports the entire feed list. This may not seem like a big deal until you consider the following: RSS Bandit already provides the capability to export feeds (and settings) to a network location (file share, FTP, webDAV) and it has the most powerful search feature I’ve seen, allowing the user to search text, use regular expressions, look in titles, descriptions, topics, or links, as well as adding filters for read status and age. You can even save your searches to a folder called “BUZZ Words.” Do you see where I’m heading with this?
I am already subscribed to a fair number of quality feeds; searching those feeds should give me only quality results. (Actually, that depends on how well I can formulate the query, especially the regular expressions, which can be difficult.) So, I conduct a search, save the query in a folder, and export that folder to a network location. Then I can give people access to that feed to do with as they see fit.
Finally, checking the roadmap for RSS Bandit development, export on a per-folder basis is on the to-do list. ![]()
