NAME
WWW::Search::Yahoo::News::Advanced - class for searching Yahoo! News using the "advanced"
interface
SYNOPSIS
use WWW::Search;
my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('Yahoo::News::Advanced');
my $sQuery = WWW::Search::escape_query("George Lucas");
$oSearch->date_from('2001-05-05');
$oSearch->date_to( '2001-07-05');
$oSearch->native_query($sQuery);
while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result())
print $oResult->url, "\n";
DESCRIPTION
This class is a Yahoo! News specialization of WWW::Search. It handles making and inter-
preting searches on Yahoo! News http://search.news.yahoo.com using the Advanced search
interface.
This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through WWW::Search
objects.
NOTES
This backend supports narrowing the search by date-range. Use date_from() and date_to()
to set the endpoints of the desired date range. You can use any date format supported by
the Date::Manip module.
If either date endpoint is not set explicitly, it will search with an appropriately open-
ended date range.
NOTE that Yahoo only keeps the last 90 days worth of news in its index.
ALSO NOTE that Yahoo will return an ERROR if date_from() is set to anything prior to Jan.
1 1999. This backend does NOT check for that.
News.yahoo.com dies if the unescaped query is longer than 485 characters or so. This
backend does NOT check for that.
SEE ALSO
To make new back-ends, see WWW::Search.
