The idea is good. Unfortunately, they tend to use blob names instead of 'Trump' or 'Biden'.. You could filter the blob name, but might as well use your ad blocker which generally lets you pick the item vs typing. I'm sure this is useful to someone though.

It is really good at what it does. But I only wish there was an option to just give it words to search for. Like actual text in the image. Then it could filter it out with OCR. This is what I really need. Sometimes it will do it and sometimes it doesn't understand. If you can add a part of the filter where it only looks for words with OCR I would love that!
