Both filter and search only check the subject of the RSS article, not its body.

Here is an example from the Craigslist feed:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to craigslist feed at http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/apa/index.rss
2. Right click on folder and go to 'Search Messages'
3. Search on Body contains garage

Actual Results:  
Only messages with matching subjects ( not bodies ) come up

Expected Results:  
Messages with matching bodies ( as opposed to subjects ) should come up.
Ok, I just figured out that the 'body' just contains a URL, not the actual page.
 And this is probably a core part of RSS.  Is there a way that this difference
from e-mail can be made obvious to the user so that others don't get confused
like I did?

Perhaps 'Body' should say 'Body ( See Help )' or something like that?
