NAME
       WWW::Search::Yahoo::News::Advanced - search 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('7 days ago');
         $oSearch->date_to  ('now');
         $oSearch->native_query($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 interpreting searches
       on Yahoo! News http://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.

       NOTE that Yahoo only seems to keep the last 60 days worth of news in its searchable index.

       At one time, News.yahoo.com would die 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.
