BOSSYahoo has adopted an open strategy by announcing an initiative called BOSS (Build Your Own Search Service), which basically turns web search into a web service by inviting developers to leverage Yahoo’s search technology and build their own web search implementations.

BOSS enables developers to submit queries via an API, which can retrieve up to 50 web, images, news or spelling results at a time.  Developers will however, be required to display Yahoo ads next to, or within their results.
