Can you get Feedster and NewsGator to work together?

For those not familiar with Feedster.com, it is a search engine for blogs. The cool thing is you can setup a search and return it as RSS. So I want to keep track of whenever "OfficeZealot.com" is mentioned in a blog, I just setup an RSS search and now I know when people are talking about OfficeZealot.com.

Feedster is awesome. Betsy contacted me and basically pointed out that it does work. Stupid user error on my part. I left my original message so you can all see my foolishness.

Side note, you have to use feedster.

I must be dense though, as I've had a tough time getting NewsGator and Feedster to work together. For example, the following feed works:

http://www.feedster.com/search.php?q=officezealot&sort=date&
ie=UTF-8&limit=15&type=rss

But this does not:

http://www.feedster.com/search.php?q=%5C%22Microsoft+Office%5C%22&
sort=date&ie=UTF-8&limit=15&type=rss

The fault lies with Feedster. They don't validate their own XML very well. Still though, it would be nice to utilize them. Or is there a better method?
