Description

Yahoo BOSS no longer offers any free searches. Pricing is currently $0.80 per 1000 queries.

Google pricing is currently $5.00 per 1000 queries but the first 100 queries per day are free. This model is more development/testing-friendly, although considerably more expensive for bootstrapping and keeping the production site up-to-date (36500 queries per year => ~3.5 years to look up every variant in current GET-Evidence DB).

Requirements:

  • Implement Google Custom Search API1, store result xml and # hits locally (similar to what import_yahoo_search.php does now)
  • Support "queue variants that haven't been looked up with any search engine" and "queue variants that haven't been looked up in Google" modes
  • Show Yahoo and/or Google search results in the "web search results" section, whichever is available.
  • Allow installer/admin to limit periodic job to X queries per script invocation
