<p>Yesterday, <a href="http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/080710-000001">Yahoo announced the launch of Build your Own Search Service, aka BOSS</a>. The program allows third parties to utilize Yahoo's index and ranking methodologies to create their own search engines. Semantic search engine, hakia, already using Yahoo search technology, announced that they would be leveraging BOSS to accelerate its advanced QDEX (Query Detection and Extraction) technology.</p>

<p>“Accessing Yahoo!’s resources via Yahoo!
