美国东部时间3月1日，雅虎公司联合创始人之一的杨致远将宣布公司的搜索网络将进入Web服务。雅虎公司在www.developer.yahoo.com网站建立了Yahoo Search Developer Network，公司计划在此纽约举行的搜索引擎战略大会(Search Engine Strategies Conference)上推出这一计划。该网络将允许开发者在雅虎搜索之上建立新的应用程序，其中包括图像、视频、新闻以及地区搜索等内容。想要使用这项服务的会员必须先去http://api.search.yahoo.com/webservices/register_application 申请一个自已的ID号，注：每个ID号每天只能搜索5000次。
下面我们看一下，如何用PHP脚本调用Yahoo! Search API实现搜索的效果，全部脚本如下：
<?PHP
// Yahoo Web Services PHP Example Code
// Rasmus Lerdorf
// www.kNowsky.com
$appid = 'YahooDemo';
// 在这输入你申请的ID号
$service = array('image'=>'http://api.search.yahoo.com/ImageSearchService/V1/imageSearch',
'local'=>'http://api.local.yahoo.com/LocalSearchService/V1/localSearch',
'news'=>'http://api.search.yahoo.com/NewsSearchService/V1/newsSearch',
'video'=>'http://api.search.yahoo.com/VideoSearchService/V1/videoSearch',
'web'=>'http://api.search.yahoo.com/WebSearchService/V1/webSearch');
