FeedMySearch: Watch Google Search Results via RSS Feeds
FeedMySearch allows you to monitor Google search results and easily track stuff that matter to you via RSS feeds. Not only does it let you monitor regular Google web search results for changes but it also lets you stay on top of the latest news, watch video sharing websites for new videos, track blogs for certain topics, and more. As soon as FeedMySearch discovers something new about the items in your watchlist it will be on your RSS feed.
Search categories include web, news, video, blogs, local, books, images, and patents. Enter the keyword, select the category you want it to watch and get the feed. Add the feed to the feedreader and you’re good to go. Apart from RSS feed, FeedMySearch gives you an option to instantly add the feed to your favorite online starpage or feedreader including Netvibes, Google Reader and My Yahoo.
The FeedMySearch RSS feed includes descriptions, images, videos and some other useful info.
Google Alerts is another web app that offers almost identical features. The only difference, Google Alerts also allows you to manage and edit your watchlist items online.

Nice tool … specially if one loves ego-surfing ! I was using a similar tool Page2RSS till now !
Looks like a neat idea but I can’t figure out how to subscribe to the created RSS…
The generated RSS turns out to be invalid.
What feedreader you tried it on?
Here is a web service that provides RSS results for Google Search. The RSS is perfectly valid and can be easily subscribed to OR called into an app.

Since the returned XML is RSS 2.0 compliant, the web service can also be called in a feed reader like this:
http://www.ecubicle.net/gsearch_rss.asmx/GetSearchResults?searchPage=0&gQuery=tutorial+asp+net&numOfResults=15
You need to change the searchPage, gQuery and numOfResults querystring parameters to your choice. gQuery parameter accepts all standard Google Search Operators.
