<entry-title>Yahoo Search</entry-title>

Yahoo is one of several [[search-engines]] that index and support microformats.

== main search ==
[http://search.yahoo.com/ search.yahoo.com] supports [[rel-nofollow]] (since 2005(?) citation needed).

== advanced search ==
Through additional user interfaces:
* [http://search.yahoo.com/cc Yahoo Creative Commons search] supports [[rel-license]]

== search APIs and tools ==
Yahoo provides search APIs like:
=== BOSS ===
* [http://developer.yahoo.com/search/boss/ Yahoo Search BOSS]
** When calling the BOSS web search API, you can retrieve all structured data Yahoo! has extracted for the specified URLs via SearchMonkey, including any microformats. Just add the parameters "view=searchmonkey_feed&format=xml" to your web search API call. This is probably the most efficient way to fetch structured data from Yahoo!.
** [http://www.bosshacks.com/build-semantic-search-boss.html Build a semantic Search Engine with BOSS] documents how to use Yahoo's BOSS API to access Yahoo SearchMonkey which supports the [[hAtom]], [[hCalendar]], [[hCard]], [[hReview]], [[XFN]], [[geo]], [[rel-tag]], [[adr]] microformats.

=== SearchMonkey ===
[http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2008/06/monkey_microformat.html Yahoo SearchMonkey] supports [[hCard]], [[hCalendar]], [[hReview]], [[hAtom]], others - launched 2008 May. SearchMonkey is Yahoo!'s program for collecting and displaying structured data, including microformats.
* You can inspect microformat and other structured data gathered by SearchMonkey by going to the [http://developer.search.yahoo.com SearchMonkey Developer Tool]. However, if you are only interested in microformat data (i.e. you are not planning on building a full-fledged [http://gallery.search.yahoo.com/ SearchMonkey application]), it is more efficient to use BOSS or YQL.
* To inspect structured data directly on the Yahoo! Search page, install the [http://gallery.search.yahoo.com/application?smid=NAo.s Structured Data Display infobar].
* Microformat filtering on Yahoo! Search: The general form is "searchmonkey:com.yahoo.page.uf.''<microformat>'' ''<additional query terms>''". For example, you could search for all pages with [[hResume]] and the word "php". Note that "searchmonkey:" acts as a filter. You aren't inspecting the actual hResume content ''for'' the word "php", you are searching for all pages that A) have hResume and B) would be returned by an ordinary Yahoo! Search for "php".
** [http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=searchmonkey%3Acom.yahoo.page.uf.hcard search Yahoo for hCards]
** [http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=searchmonkey%3Acom.yahoo.page.uf.hcalendar search Yahoo for hCalendar events]
** [http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=searchmonkey%3Acom.yahoo.page.uf.hreview search Yahoo for hReviews]
** [http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=searchmonkey%3Acom.yahoo.page.uf.hatom search Yahoo for hAtom]
** [http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=searchmonkey%3Acom.yahoo.page.uf.xfn search Yahoo for XFN]
** [http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=searchmonkey%3Acom.yahoo.page.uf.hresume search Yahoo for hResume]
** [http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=searchmonkey%3Acom.yahoo.page.uf.adr search Yahoo for adr]
** [http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=searchmonkey%3Acom.yahoo.page.uf.geo search Yahoo for GEO]
** [http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=searchmonkey%3Acom.yahoo.page.uf.tag search Yahoo for rel-tag]
** All of these microformat filters can be used with the BOSS API as well.

=== YQL ===
[http://developer.yahoo.com/yql Yahoo Query Language] uses an SQL-like syntax to "normalize" web service calls. In addition to wrapping web services such as Flickr, Yelp, and Zillow, YQL also enables you to extract content directly from web pages. As part of that functionality, YQL can [http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2009/01/yql_with_microformats.html query and filter on microformats]. For example, the YQL query:

[http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20microformats%20where%20url%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fupcoming.yahoo.com%2Fvenue%2F23933%2F'&format=xml http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select * from microformats where url%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fupcoming.yahoo.com%2Fvenue%2F23933%2F'&format=xml]

extracts all microformats from a particular page on upcoming.yahoo.com.

''Unlike'' BOSS and the simple microformat filters described above, you can use YQL to perform filtering and other operations on the microformat data itself.
