Allow saving specific searches as Custom Feeds (or maybe Personal Feeds) #2560

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to save a search so that new results for those saved searches continue to appear in my feeds in the future.

On https://bsky.app/search?q=sample display a Create Feed button.

On https://bsky.app/feeds and https://bsky.app/settings/saved-feeds display a new section called Custom Feeds, or similar. (Maybe Personal Feeds?) Saved searches are each displayed as a Feed here. User can delete feeds here. Maybe can also create a new Custom Feed here as well.

example flow:

  1. User searches: https://bsky.app/search?q=exoplanet
  2. User clicks Create Feed button on the search page
  3. User is taken to something like: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:sadsad3dfssfd/feed/exoplanet The results displayed are the same as on the search page for that term.
  4. Feed is saved to user's https://bsky.app/feeds

Additional context Since I use the Show Posts from My Feeds feature, this is a simple way for me to create my own, very customized, home feed algorithm. Neato!

Yeah I quite like this idea and hope it's something we can introduce in the future.

Great idea. If combined with "Advanced Search", it would work as a user-friendly feed generator. I think 90% of published feeds can be handled by keywords and from:username, to:username, regex://, since:, like:>10, etc.
