There are many reasons for why you might like to create a search feed for your network. For example, inside groups you have a RSS module which you might like to keep updated on a particular topic. I've been doing this for years using the RSS feed that Google generates at the bottom of a search results page. I just run a search, copy the feed URL and plug it into the RSS of a group on a particular topic. BOOM a constantly updated group on autopilot. Now you can do this with a Bing search with this quick little hack:
Say you want to run a search for "Land Surveyors Support" (look whos number 1)
You get a URL like this:
http://www.bing.com/search?q=Land+Surveyors+Support&pc=Z008&form=ZGAFDF
How to Get RSS Feed from Bing Search
To create an RSS feed in Bing, conduct a search, and at the end of the URL from the search results screen add the following text: &format=rss
NOTE: for the example below, i used RSS2GIF to demonstrate the feed capabilities

dude you always have super cool tips and ideas, who woulda thought to use a google search rss to keep a group constantly rolling with content? my mind just went kaboom with ideas!
I liked your page, and it wasn't til then I realized you are in Charleston, SC.....I was born there, Roper Hospital I think it was. We moved when I was a little baby, never been back but want to. I always thought you were in Louisiana, I guess because of the LSU logo, lol. Very nice tips, thanks for sharing!
EDIT: I feel very dumb asking this, but I do not see an rss button at the bottom of searches I am doing on Google. Is it hidden in one of the "About Google" or other Google hyperlinks?
thank you brother
ok, I don't want to be a land surveyor.
but I like the idea for my site.
can you make a video?
