for example if I need to find the rss feed of lwn.net I can search feed:lwn.net to get the result https://lwn.net/headlines/rss, you can also use duckduckgo but it includes irrelevant results for some reason, it should also work in searx.

      I’m thinking this isn’t a real operator but maybe it gets treated like “feed sitename”?

      I’m pretty sure it is, if you compare results of feed:<site name> and feed <site name> you can clearly see the difference (all the results of the former query are rss feeds (with the exception of “instant answers”) while that is not the case with the latter), is kevincox.ca your site ? where is your rss feed ? I can’t find it, as for feedmail, it doesn’t look like it’s indexed by bing.

      I agree that it’s not always reliable, but it can still be useful.

      Ah, I think it figured it out. I think putting feed: restricts the search results to feeds. However it doesn’t return the feed “for” a site. It returns feeds that mention the words. However even then it seems like it ignores half of the search terms and doesn’t find many existing feeds like Hacker News. But maybe that is just Bing for you.
