Is there a way to filter out words in search terms for the various plugins like craigslist or ebay?

For instance, if I'm looking for a camera body but not lenses I'd like to do a search like:

"nikon d40 NOT lenses"

or

"nikon d40 ! lenses"

Better still, any chance for regex support?

Sorry but Craigslist only supports simple ALL (search term) searches.

Couldn't this be done within snarfer itself afterwards?  Maybe one field to search the site with, and another field for filters?

Is there an API for snarfer so that anyone can program plugins?

With the next release you'll be able to make a Keyword Watch based on a single feed (search).  So that may get you what your looking for.

We also released our wiki last week ... http://www.snarfware.com/wiki/

I haven't tried this in Snarfer but Craiglist has this functionality. Here is a copy and paste from their Help:


To specify one or more words you'd like to exclude, use a minus sign to negate them.

    honda black -red

That will look for postings that contain 'honda' and 'black' but not 'red'.  Note that a search must contain one non-excluded term
