With the latest Google Dashboard Widgets announced for Mac, google revealed also a hidden feature in Google Search History which is the availability of RSS. 



  Widget.feed = "http://www.google.com/searchhistory/find?zx=" + 

              randomString() + "&num=50&output=rss&client=google-mcsmhwidget";

  ...

  var url = Widget.feed;

  url += "&start=" + Widget.resultsStart;

  url += "&q=" + encodeURIComponent(query);


If you see the URL, you'll notice that the only difference with the default url is the output=rss. Notice that to get this feature working you have to login in Google Search History first, because it's using a cookie. With some investiguation the feature of RSS is also available for Bookmarks. Amazing Google no ?
