I never realized you did so much research on me, Aaron. I'm sorta flattered, imo.

-"bad beat" +author:"Joe Tall" Boolean Searching. Give me all the results where Joe Tall is in the author, and the phrase "bad beat" doesn't exist.

Bump since we've had some complaints about the power of our search tool lately. Smile

I seem to recall that there was a way of subscribing to custom RSS feeds based on a search result. Was this just a wonderful dream?

Yeah, search-based RSS is something we don't have, just a wonderful dream. You can subscribe to custom RSS based on topics you subscribe to, but currently that's the only customization you can do for RSS feeds.
