The text in this chapter is copied verbatim from the Filtering mini-Howto by Vidar Madsen and Markus Goetz. It is copyright 2002 by them.
The filtering code in gtk-gnutella 0.90 was dramatically improved. This small howto will tell you how to deal with the power given by those filters.
Note that filters will only be applied to new search results as they come in. There is currently no way to apply them to the results that are already in the list.
