It’s actually a lot simpler then I thought and wanted to share.

Do your search (on your WP powered blog). Your URL should look something like this: http://www.somesite.com/?s=derek+jeter. In that example I did a search for Derek Jeter, on my site. But my goal is to create a feed, so I can view all stories/pages about Derek Jeter in my feed reader. Ready for this? Add &feed=rss2 to the end of the URL string. The URL should now look similar to http://www.somesite.com/?s=derek+jeter&feed=rss2

Walah! You now have your feed, from a search query.
