Question RSS/XML format search results?
I am, of course, aware of the RSS feed of MSN's search results, but I'm wondering if there are others that provide 10 or 20 results (SERPs) in XML or RSS format? Or if there is a list?

It's just MSN, right now. Yahoo has some other feeds for news, financial described here, http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/050114-092810, and shopping described here, http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/050415-112405. That's it.

There is some sort of RSS feed at Yahoo! Search, but its not 100%, I think.

DO a search at Yahoo!, this one was a typo http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UT...c+engine+watch

It gives me, as a Safari user with RSS built in, this RSS icon.



When I click on it I get http://api.search.yahoo.com/WebSearc...tch&adult_ok=1

What is that?

Yahoo Search results in RSS
Rustybrick,

I just came upon that last night as well and read more about it. Here is an example of the Yahoo! search results RSS feed (not news search, but the actual web search)...that URL you gave (reiterated below) is the "new" Yahoo! search results RSS feed.

http://api.search.yahoo.com/WebSearc...tch&adult_ok=1

That is the structure of the RSS results from Yahoo!, with "search+engine+watch" being the keyword for which results are displayed. Simply change that, of course, and you've got a different search results feed.

Safari for Windows?
Hi guys - that Safari feature looks pretty cool. Any chance there's a version of Safari for Windows?

Semi off topic - but is anyone actually using these types of search feeds on their sites/client sites?

I only see these types of feeds on scraper and spammer sites.

Canton, the Firefox browser for Windows (or Mac) offers automatic RSS feed detection.
