Yahoo! Search BOSSBuild your Own Search Service

The Vision

BOSS is a service that provides you (the developer) flexible

access to different types of data from Yahoo and allows you

to build powerful commercial search applications with that

data.

You have tremendous creativity and insight into users’

problems and most often the missing ingredient is data.

Yahoo can bring its infrastructure to bear for you and

through BOSS gives that data and the tools to access that

data easily.

BOSS also provides you Search Advertising and simple

terms so that you can monetize that innovative product

and continue to invest your personal time in it.

Together we can make the Internet

a more magical and special place!
