A content search system for determining whether an input string matches one or more rules includes a parser, a rules database, and a search engine. The parser, which has an input to receive the input string, is to extract one or more selected portions of the input string to form a filtered input string, and is to generate a rule select signal in response to the selected portions of the input string. The rules database stores a plurality of sets of rules. The search engine is to compare the filtered input string with a selected set of rules selected in response to the rule select signal.
