PHP Site Search Made Easy
By Akash Mehta2008-03-30
Now that you've built your site search system, have a thorough read through the search web service specification and experiment with the data it gives you. Maybe you want to add pagination, or use the number of results returned to see if you need to suggest a different search query to the user.
You definitely want to look into caching, to improve the performance of your search system and ease the load on Yahoo's API servers. Head to Yahoo's PHP Developer Center, where Rasmus Lerdorf himself provides some code samples for best practices.
If you're interested in exploring the Yahoo APIs, the Yahoo Developer Network should be your first point of call, where you'll find all the web service APIs thoroughly documented, as well as SDKs to help you learn how to work with the services.
