I use Yahoo Boss as my site's search engine (by using the site:domain.com query), but since my site is new, the Yahoo crawler indexes pages very slowly.
Assuming BOSS Custom has a way to feed results to the Yahoo crawler, this should become the best way to a simple site search.
- dangoldin 18y agoYea I'm looking into it but I need a crawler I can feed data into as well as a way to provide auxiliary data. For example, if I am selling houses I want to be able to have additional information about # of bedrooms, # of bathrooms, and so forth that can easily be included in search.
- sh1mmer 18y agoIf you are interested in structured data you should also look at some of the search monkey stuff. Search monkey gives a real insight into how the Y! search engine uses structured data. http://developer.yahoo.com/searchmonkey/smguide/datarss.html http://developer.yahoo.com/searchmonkey/smguide/datarss.html Essentially the crawler will discover Microformats or RDFa on a site to use in the index. The current suggested vocabularies are Dublin Core, FOAF, VCard, VCal, Review, SIOC, Good Relations, DBPedia and Freebase (http://developer.yahoo.com/searchmonkey/smguide/profile_vocab.html#profile-overview http://developer.yahoo.com/searchmonkey/smguide/profile_voca...). Searchmonkeys use these to visually enhance listing but I'm sure there will be other structured data use in the future, and that the technologies used in BOSS vertical search are in the same family as those used in Searchmonkey.
