Hi,

Great to hear that FeedDemon is still evolving (you didn't announce any updates since FeedDemon is free, do you ? :-).

One of the main feature still missing in my daily use is the possibility to build watches on specific feeds (for the moment you can only build watches for all feeds, isn't it).

One other thing that is deeply missing imho is the possibility to build boolean queries for watches where you could specify words in title and/or description/content/summary but also category and author/contributor.

Both features would be usefull in business intelligence, reputation management and scientific information environment to watch for business names in general business feeds or specific subject and/or author in scientific feeds.

I do encounter these problems for my own watches, for watches I do for my clients (small businesses) and when I'm talking to clients where I recommend to use FeedDemon.

You've already done a great job, thanks for you work.

To keep things simple (as you say in your blog post on tags).

We could have an "Advanced" button in the Watch properties window where we could enter boolean queries and decide the feeds we want to filter (something like [but better than :-)] the FeedReader function where you just check the feeds you needs.

A real good thing would also a case sensitive filter. A good example of interest is when you have to filter news about the "Total" group.
