Several weeks ago FilterMyRSS added a new feature which many have asked for: keyword exclusion. The new RSS Filter feature means you can exclude feed articles based off keywords.

The most obvious example would be filtering out articles containing profanity.

So this is how it works: Simply put a negative sign in front of your keyword.

Example: -microsoft
*This would filter OUT all articles of a feed with the word “microsoft“

The RSS exclusion is based off string keywords…so…

Example: “-american idol”
*This would filter OUT all articles with the two words “american idol” as the exact string. However, you will still get articles that had “american” in one area and “idol” in another.

I believe this makes FilterMyRSS a much more powerful utility for RSS Filter needs. Enjoy!
