Since this week the RSS search results (&format=rss) are returning empty XMLs.
For example:
https://www.bing.com/search?q=%22anything%22&format=rss
For me it shows no entries (search results):
This is a known issue? The service is coming back soon?
Thanks.

Hello,
Could you please share if there any code error here for your case? Thanks.

Hi,
No code error here. I'm just receiving an empty XML from Bing where it used to be one full of search results.
I'm using the "&format=rss" suffix for the search URL like I always did.
It would be very helpull just to know if I'm doing something wrong or the service is deprecated.

Cool, thanks for the information, we are investigating on our side to see if there any known issue. But since today is not weekday, there may be some delay, please understand.

Hi Yutong, you have any news on this. Thanks in advance.
Hello @JavierJL
Sorry for the late response. I have not received any news about this service is deprecated and I am still tracking on this. But just now, I see this works for me well as below.
https://www.bing.com/search?q=%22anything%22&format=rss
Is this expected result for you?

Yutong
Hi Yutong,
That would be the spected result. You have a nice list of items there.
For me it looks like this, no items:
Something must be wrong on my side if it's working for you, I will keep investigating.

Hum...just remove the double-quote before and after your query and it should be ok
