  Hi all,

  This request is similar to a few others (see below) but specific enough that I wanted to submit it separately.

  In short, I would like to have the option of adding text-matching criteria when creating a new filter. Consider the following use case:

  • I am subscribed to a podcast network which publishes multiple shows on the same RSS feed (it’s a custom patreon-specific feed)
  • The episodes have different prefixes based on which show they belong to.
  • I want to have a custom filter which only matches episodes with a certain prefix / keyword / text pattern, for example only episodes with “BSC” in the title:

  

  This should not be too difficult to implement and I think other users could benefit as well, given the previous similar requests:

  • Feature request: keywords filter
  • Enhancement Suggestions for the Filters system
  • Feature Request: Keyword Exclusion Filter

  Thanks!

  Sergiu
