There is an easy hack, given a known list of RSS feeds that do not offer full content and that one desires to be searched --

Simply run the links in the original feed through something like arc90's Readability and produce a new feed with the output, ingesting this new feed back into Superfeedr.

If this hack is being used only for search-related purposes, then I would hazard that there is enough existing precedent here to claim legality.

On paper it is a nice solution. However, I would assume Arc90 would see considerable load on their systems (esp by feeds that are not generating any page views) and shut this off. Also it's another point of failure and latency.

NewsBasis is looking to do the same processes Arc90 are doing, however, to ensure a 'full content' payload is held for every source.
