[feature] Notification only when a certain "text" appears on the website

[justme6666]

Hi guys,

Is there a way to get notified only when a certain "text" appears on the website ?

For example to monitor the content of certain websites for specific keywords ? And only when those keywords appear on the website to get notified ?

I tried the "tag" option, but it doesn't seem to work. For example I'm trying to watch certain websites for "FDA approvals", is there a way for this tool to include, notifications for keywords like "FDA"

[justme6666]

by the way...what's the "tag" option for ? When I use the tag as "FDA", I get notified when the website changes, even though there is no "FDA" word on the website...is that a false positive error in your script ? or the "tag" option is for something else ?

Thanks

@justme6666 [tag] is only for organising your entries, otherwise [tag] does absolutely nothing at all

for your question, the answer is no. not yet.

[dgtlmoon]

Good idea tho, i'll add it to the backlog.

@justme6666 actually it also says what the 'tag' does, right in black and white text in the settings page...

[justme6666]

Will the "search text" feature work if the websites are using javascript ?

Thanks

@dgtlmoon Are there any plans to trigger at certain changes in DIV's in stead of only text? Some pages does say 'in stock', but on that same page you can see other 'related products', those are 'in stock'?

[dgtlmoon]

@CyberDonkyx0 in this case I would use a css filter to choose the div you want, although if there were more divs added it could change.. i offer commercial support if you're interested dgtlmoon@gmail.com

i've seen other change detection systems allowing you to extract AFTER a line of text too

@CyberDonkyx0 any chance you can comment in #190 which site you are using?

@dgtlmoon thank you for your reply. It worked! Only when a page has several indicators.. like amazon. As you requested, I replied in #190 :)
