Subject: Wrong search parameter ?
I was running into a problem with performing a Yahoo search on one of our keywords that we're interested in ('tj schier') and I turned on search_debug and the resulting URL was: http://search.yahoo.com/search?h=w&n=100&vo=tj+schier When I go to that in the web page, Yahoo extrapolates that as tj OR schier. I'm trying to emulate what happens when someone types 'tj schier' in the search box and that resulting URL uses the 'p' parameter: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=tj+schier&n=100 I hacked the Yahoo.pm file to change 'vo' to 'p' and that got the result I was looking for. I'm wondering if they changed the parameters on you or I could be mis-using the module (it seems the 'vo' is a bit more technical/advanced than what I was looking for). Thanks! Jason

Please read about the gui_query function in the WWW::Search documentation. It _is_ implemented for Yahoo. -- - - Martin 'Kingpin' Thurn
