Yahoo! Search BOSS Integration with CakePHP

July 17, 2008



Note on March 21st, 2008: Neil Crookes made a nice Yahoo! Boss CakePHP Plugin that I would recommend over my code. Neil’s fits much better into the CakePHP environment.

I did a search for jQuery and when I click on the pager links, didn’t get any results past the first page. Also, in the search results the green url looks clickable to me, but it’s not a link.

Great example though! Thanks

John S: Thanks for letting me know, it is fixed now. It was a very minor parameter naming issue.

What is the benefit of the file index.ctp? Where it is useful? Please let me know.

Thanks

.ctp is a CakePHP view file.

Hi I also wrote an article on Yahoo Boss and provided a PHP script for the ones that are interested in starting their own search engine. You can find it at :http://www.subscribetomyblog.com/spotlight/yahoo-boss-php-code-examples-are-hard-to-come-by. By the way do you also have a PHP script for image and news search with Yahoo Boss?
