Hyderabad, July 11

Yahoo! has announced a new open Web services platform, Yahoo! Search BOSS (Build Your Own Search Service), which gives third parties access to Yahoo! Search technology, including the ability to re-rank and control the presentation of Web search results.

Yahoo! Search BOSS enables developers and companies to build custom search experiences. BOSS extends Yahoo!’s Open Strategy by giving access to one of the most valuable assets on the Web, the Yahoo! Search infrastructure and technology. This builds on another recent launch of Yahoo!’s SearchMonkey developer platform, which opened up the Yahoo! search results page to allow site owners and developers to create enhanced search results.

Yahoo! provides developers and companies access to its algorithmic search infrastructure without incurring the significant costs required to build Web-scale search experiences. BOSS will offer two options for companies and developers and its custom service offered to select partners with large-scale needs in building and supporting Web search experiences. –
