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.
