Filtering feeds

My reader asks:

"If an RSS feed can be subscribed to, then the content filtered somehow, using specific keywords like, say, oh, I don't know, 'Canadian dollar' maybe?"

I don't know about other aggregators, but I don't think that Bloglines will filter feeds for you.

The best alternative that I can think of is to use Feedster, which searches RSS feeds for words you request and then lets you subscribe to a feed of the search.

Of course, like any other search engine you have to figure out how to tweak your search to get rid of as much excess as possible.

I think you should be able to search only certain sites. Here is an example of search only within one site:
"canadian dollar site:currencysource.com"

Here's a link to the feed.
