actually the feed might be enough because it is based on tags and
other goodies. The basic syntax is:
[root_url]/[virtual_root]/feed/[feed_type]/[tag_list]
where tag list is a space delimited list of tags to search for.

In fact the tag list can be a user's login name:

For text based searches you can use the Sample API which also returns
rss feeds (more info here:

Let me know if that doesn't answer your question...
