Same applies to Yahoo.

http://news.yahoo.com/i/1817

But Ask does not deliver the results as RSS feeds. In related news, Google

Google expands online news index

Also, a few weeks ago, Topix began offering feeds for search results. But
it's still a total mess. Yahoo is the best in that department ('cleantest'),
but Google is broader.

Best wishes,
