Google has confirmed for Search Engine Land that they’ll soon start offering RSS feeds for web search results. When it happens, the RSS feeds will be an extension of Google Alerts, which currently only allow notification by email.

Awesome news for ZapTXT users. |
We have been able to RSS-subscribe to alerts via Google News for a long time now. |
Libran, as I understand it the organic web search results themselves will be RSS-ified, perhaps as a feature offered as part of Google Alerts. |
Given my .. limited .. programming skills, this is Huge news for me. RSS is -so- much easier than html wiping. YPA. |
If they do RSS for search like they've been doing for news it'll be useless anyway. They put table code inside their RSS and Atom feeds. Horrible! |
I had figured that they'll provide a straight RSS of a web search result page, but now that this is live I guess it's only about RSS-ifiying the additions to the web results (same old Google Alerts except email is now RSS optionally)? http://www.google.com/alerts/manage?hl=en&gl=us |
