RSS rule that sets category from tag in RSS data?

Hello all, I am trying to create a rule that sets the category of a torrent from data in the RSS feed. However, I can't seem to get it to work.

So, my RSS feed looks like this:

Code: Select all

<item>
<guid>https://somethingorothger</guid>
<title>ABook</title>
<link>https://www.blah.com/123456</link>
<category>Ebooks - Historical Fiction</category>
<description>Author(s): SomeBloke., Paperback edition. <br/></description>
<pubDate>Mon, 14 Aug 2017 04:08:57 +0000</pubDate>
...
</item>

I'd like to set the torrent category from the, well, category tag.

However, when I do a simple Must Contain rule for Ebooks, it doesn't work?

I've tried using normal and Regex expressions, which I have tested on RegEx101, but that didn't work either.

I am guessing that the RSS Rule itself is just looking in the <LINK> part, which doesn't contain the category? Is that correct? If so, is there any way to make it look at the other data in the RSS feed?
