The Feeds Module looks very powerful. It certainly greatly extends the capability of the Aggregator that is built into Drupal 6.
But I want to do something that might be beyond it's capabilities. If so, I would like to know before I start digging into Feeds.
Here is what I want to do:
1. Pull in a large number of news feeds - maybe 50 or more. Update every 15 minutes.
2. Search the TITLE and perhaps the CONTENT for KEY WORDS for each feed article.
3. Create a Node with Content Type NEWS for each successful KEY WORD search.
4. Map the KEY WORDS and fields from the feed to the fields of the NEWS node.
It seems clear that Feeds can handle tasks 1 and 4. The question is can Feeds or any related module handle tasks 2 and 3?
