I think it would be very cool to have RSS feeds from my blog's search results. Wordpress already has a wide range of RSS feeds: posts, comments, categories. But is there a plugin that will generate on-the-fly RSS feeds from search results?
Tks!
Can we have RSS on the Search Results? (5 posts)

Wow, I'm really amazed, and pleased :-)

There is no template tag per se which does this, but we can construct one:
<a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); echo '?s=' . stripslashes(stripslashes($s)); ?>">RSS feed for search results</a>For a site *not* using custom permalinks:
<a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); echo '&s=' . stripslashes(stripslashes($s)); ?>">RSS feed for search results</a>The
bloginfo('rss2_url')portion is described here. Theechostatement appends the search string ($s) to the feed's url (the nested stripslashes() are there to clean out potential PHP escape sequences from the search string).You can surround this with an
if( is_search() )conditional to make sure it only displays on search results (i.e. you're adding it to the sidebar). More on conditional tags here: -
