Google to offer RSS feeds for search results
by Jason on Oct.09, 2008, under Uncategorized
Google has announced that they’ll soon be offering RSS feeds for search results as a new feature of Google Alerts, which currently works only via e-mail. Google has not yet given a date for the new feature. I wonder if it’ll work with Google Scholar as well.
I wish I’d known this at my RSS presentation a couple of weeks ago!
Update: Chris Lang points out in the comments that Google already offers this feature for blog searches!

My posts @GSU Library- An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.

Did you know that Google already offers RSS feeds for Blogsearch results? On my site now if you need a little more info.
But think about this: What if Google added a FriendConnect widget to Google blogsearch? IT could be easily done since each search term now carries it’s own RSS feed.

Very cool — I didn’t realize that Google had this feature. Why blog searches and no others, I wonder?
