Request: RSS Feed for search query

[gloschtla]

I discovered today, we can use filtering strings -- for example, to show only resulting videos, which were published today: https://invidio.us/search?q=date%3Atoday+QUERY

Now it would be nice, if there would be an RSS feed for this search string. This would allow me to be notified, as soon as a new video with concerning search string appeared today.

This feature would be nice to have, because sometimes I don't know which channel will upload an awaited video. So in such a case, I have no chance to subscribe to a known channel, and then filter the RSS content for the interesting video.

it would also be nice to be able to subscribe to search queries.

Currently the main issue implementing this feature is that search results do not provide a consistent published date (see also #570). Instead, search provides "1 year ago", "4 months ago", etc.

Most RSS readers don't work correctly without a consistent published date, instead creating multiple entries for each item. Maybe it would make sense to only provide RSS feeds where it's possible to guarantee a specific precision for each video. For example, QUERY date:week would be able to provide precision rounded to one day.

or you can create an artificial time based on the order if sorting by time is possible. 1970+1sec for each entry. alternatively you could access each video but that only makes sense if you save the response in a huge meta data cache like with the annotation backup

Just don't provide time, it's optional ;)
Most mandatory is ID (it can't be the same as already pushed other item so deduplication will work).
