Tell me about the "required words" and "ignored words" options

Feedwhip allows you to filter changes based on whether they do or do not contain certain words or phrases. Just enter the words or phrases you want in the appropriate box, separated by spaces. If you want to match a specific phrase which contains spaces, enclose the phrase in quotes.

To only see changes which do contain a certain phrase, enter that phrase in the required box. To only see changes which don't contain a certain phrase, enter that phrase in the ignored box. If a change is matched by both the required and ignored entries, then it is ignored.

You can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard to match any number of characters, and a question mark (?) as a wildcard to match just one character.

Here are some examples:

• To match only changes which are about Seattle:

• To match only changes which are about either Seattle or New York:

• To match changes which are about seasons, searches, searing, etc., but not Seattle:
