It works ok, the main issues are:
* the results are not as good as yahoo's real results
* about 10% of the time the yahoo click-through url is incorrect (meaning instead of seeing the result you see a yahoo error page).
I've since rewritten it to use Google's "AJAX" API (which is just JSON). Check out the flash section for how to get the JSON directly.
