RSS filter issue

I've noticed a problem with shows that have two "e"'s in their title. Is there a known issue?  IE... "Weeds" or "Greek" do not return positive "matches" from the RSS Feed.
Using 0.4.9.

Depends on what your search term is.
What's the RSS feed and what's your match string?

RSS Feed is:
http://www.tvnzb.com/tvnzb_new.rss

Match string I tried was:
"Weeds", "Weeds.S05", "Weeds.S05E01.HDTV.XviD-aAF", "We", "re:^W", "re:^Weeds"
... also tried for a show called "GREEK", using similar strings above, no luck. It never shows in the "Matched" section.  Tried similar strings for other TV shows, such as "Army" and "Army Wives" was matched.

You are the victim of the deceptive way RSS works.
The preview shows you all the NZB files SABnzbd has in its memory.
However the filters are only applied to the NZBs that are in the RSS feed now.
They are not applied to what's in the memory from previous scans.
The reason it works like this, is that it tries to show you what is happening
when an automated scan is done.

The problem is of course that the preview should not show you NZB files
that are no longer present in the RSS feed!
But then again, if it doesn't, you will not be able to manually download them either.

The "Weeds" jobs are no longer in RSS feed, so you can filter what you want,
but it will never match.
The "download" links shown with the non-matches allow you to download
such jobs manually.

The way it works now is very confusing, I will look into improvements for the next release.

Okay, that definitely makes sense now, thanks for the clarification!
