Im setting up a special interest site and have a problem finding feeds that relate specifically to this interest. Lets say the site is focused on local state railways. There is no feed available that provides news for only my state's rail system. The best I can find is a general news site which provides feeds by state, and includes rail related stories, as well as stories on all other topics. (ie: crime, sport etc which I dont want)

The feed includes categories which would be a good way to filter its content to exclude anything that is not rail related, however sometimes things arent categoried as well as they could be, so it would be better to be able to categorise items myself, using regex search/match. The only problem there is that this method might require several regex matches on different words or phrases to do the job.

Im building a whole new site, and Im new to Drupal, so there is a bit of a learning curve, and a lot of different modules to configure and customise. I will get to this eventually, but would appreciate any thoughts, of course if someone familiar with the module got there before me, that would be good too :)

I believe filtering of RSS feeds would be of interest to many users, with so much information out there.

Have you looked at the Newws Page module?

Automatic tagging/creation of taxonomy items and filtering (based on regexp matching of the content) would be very useful to have in the aggregator2 module.
