Do you want to build your own search engine?? If yes then Yahoo has something in for you. Yahoo has recently launched BOSS(Build Your Own Search Service) its open search web service platform. This will allow people to build their own search engines based on Yahoo’s techonology. Basically Yahoo is trying to push google back by generating more and more search engines and thus expanding its add network.

With the help of BOSS you can change the rank of the search results. One of its other cool features is BOSS Mashup framework which will allow BOSS search results to mash up with other search results from other data sources. We can say that Yahoo has really opened up a lot as it is providing access to almost all its major fields like web, news and image search. Soon Yahoo will be launching a monetization platform which will allow Yahoo and its partners to share the profits from BOSS search products. Some of the major partners of yahoo for this program are hakia, daylife to-go, cluuz and me.deium search.
