Is RSS a new way to search?

With searching the web becoming a hot mess of AI overviews that are wrong and hundreds of ads that don’t help, is RSS a new way to search?

Believe it or not, people do. Most news outlets have an RSS feed, and most developers that own blogs or podcasts probably do have an RSS Feed; me, for example, I have one (madebydanny.uk/RSS). But you can’t search for RSS feeds, and most RSS feeds are XML, so it’s just a bunch of text to a non-developer. But that can change; services like Feedle (feedle.world) turn that plain text into a nice, easy-to-use interface with a search bar and everything.

This lets you find new RSS feeds for your favorite blogs, podcasts, and news outlets. Without stupid AI overviews that are wrong and ads that don’t help. All with an easy-to-use interface!
