MSN Search and RSS feed

Wasn't going to post anymore today, but this caught my attention

Something really cool:  MSN Search is apparently playing with providing an RSS feed for searches.  They had a hidden link on the search page for a few hours and sombody saw it (naturally).

Anyway, you can see this in action by putting "&format=rss" on the end of a search query URL.  For the source of this information look at this post by Gary Price

Of course MSN are not the first SE to have an RSS feed.  For example Gigblast have had this for some time.  They allow you to reuse the feed in your own site/SE results - unlike MSN which restricts to personal use.
