Is there some kind of RSS Search Service?

Question

Hi,

while building a small RSS Reader for myself I discovered, that the iPad Reader Pulse or the Google Reader let you search RSS feeds simply by entering a keyword. So, there is no need to know the RSS URL. How can I integrate something like that in my own Reader? Is there some kind of web service that provides such a search?

Thank you

Look at this on Google Apis.

I believe they have a cronjob running that is constantly caching RSS feeds, so when you do a search it searches their database of cached feeds/articles.
