=head1 NAME

WWW::Search::Yahoo::News::Advanced - search Yahoo!News using the
"advanced" interface

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::Search;
  my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('Yahoo::News::Advanced');
  my $sQuery = WWW::Search::escape_query("George Lucas");
  $oSearch->date_from('7 days ago');
  $oSearch->date_to  ('now');
  $oSearch->native_query($sQuery);
  while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result())
    print $oResult->url, "\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is a Yahoo! News specialization of L<WWW::Search>.  It
handles making and interpreting searches on Yahoo! News
F<http://news.yahoo.com> using the Advanced search interface.

This class exports no public interface; all interaction should
be done through L<WWW::Search> objects.

=head1 NOTES

This backend supports narrowing the search by date-range.
Use date_from() and date_to() to set the endpoints of the desired date range.
You can use any date format supported by the Date::Manip module.

NOTE that Yahoo only seems to keep the last 60 days worth of news in its searchable index.

At one time, News.yahoo.com would die if the unescaped query is longer
than 485 characters or so.  This backend does NOT check for that.

=head1 SEE ALSO

To make new back-ends, see L<WWW::Search>.
