wired's search-- in rss

I was just doing a search on Wired News' archive, and I noticed that at the top and bottom of the search results, where you get the navigation links ("next"... "back") there was a link that said "(rss)" with a link that went to an RSS version of the search (here is a slightly recursive example :)), and it even matches the position in the search. Very cool! (Btw, since wired search is powered by lycos I went to it to see if they were doing the same thing, but no. Too bad.)

Now, when is Google going to do something like that for Google News? Or for Google searches?

There is a service called GoogleAlert (http://www.googlealert.com/) that maybe does what you want for Google searches -- I use and like it a lot.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the pointer; I knew about Google alert (and it's a cool service indeed) but I was specifically talking about exposing feeds to the search, which would enable the same basic functionality but other types of applications that can run on top of it, since it's more along the lines of a lightweight web service. In the meantime, GoogleAlert will have to do... :)
