Is that the case? Did Yahoo! move to a paid service? If I debug WordPress am getting the following error: Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /vservers/ip64852/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/yahoo-boss/yahoo-boss-results.php on line 140 Any insight would be helpful, thanks!

I just dropped by to say thanks! I am working on a new Wordpress blog, and was playing with a number of plugins as well as with Lijit and Google Custom Search, to replace WP's built in search. None of the solutions I've tried so far were optimal for a reason or another. I then remembered about Yahoo BOSS and did a quick search to see if it was possible to use it with Wordpress, and that's how I found your useful website. Your plugin works great! I got an API from Yahoo and your plugin up and running in a couple of minutes! The only issues I've seen so far are - a PHP error if no results are returned for a particular query - if the user mispells a search term, no results are likely to be returned and no suggestion is made as for what the correct search term might be, as it happens with google CSE. Any workarounds? Again many thanks! Vito Hi!
