Product Summary

Search for BOSS gives Dreamweaver users the ability to integrate BOSS (Build your Own Search Service), Yahoo!'s open search web services platform, directly into any PHP website. BOSS search is completely customizable and has no restrictions on the presentation of search results. Add search to your website and provide users with a unique search experience.

Yahoo! Search Power
Add the power of Yahoo!'s search engine and extensive search index to your website so that your users can quickly search and find exactly what they are looking for, on your site or the web.
Innovative Search Experience
With Search for BOSS you can add search to your website and customize the display of your search results in any way you desire - provide your users with a new and unique way to search.
White-Labeled
Yahoo! Search BOSS is white-labeled, therefore you can add search to your website and rebrand as you see fit - no need to mention Yahoo! or BOSS.
Unlimited Search Queries
BOSS is currently offered to developers free of charge and there is no limit to the number of sites you can add it to or queries that can be performed on any given day.

* BOSS currently allows for an unlimited number of daily search queries. However, in the near future Yahoo! will introduce a fee structure for BOSS usage above 10,000 search queries per day. For more information, please click here.

What is the difference between purchasing and subscribing?

When you purchase a Dreamweaver extension or Super Suite, you own that software and will automatically receive dot release updates (updates within the same version of a product you own). Any full version upgrade that is released after 30 days from your initial transaction would require you to purchase that version at a discounted upgrade price. By subscribing to the WebAssist Extension Library you have automatic access to all existing WebAssist Dreamweaver extensions, premium content, new extensions as well as content or product updates that are added during your subscription.

Is Search for Boss included with the WebAssist Extension Library?

Yes, with your purchase of the WebAssist Extension Library you receive access to all WebAssist extensions including Search for Boss.

Do I need to own Dreamweaver to use Search for BOSS?

Yes, you will need Dreamweaver CS3 or CS4 to run Search for BOSS.

Do you offer a trial or demo of Search for BOSS?

WebAssist is not currently set up to offer trials or demos of our products. Instead we offer a 15 day money back guarantee with every Dreamweaver extension.

Can Search for BOSS be used without any coding knowledge?

Yes. Search for BOSS can be used without any prior coding knowledge.

Will I incur additional fees for using Yahoo! Search BOSS?

BOSS currently allows for an unlimited number of daily search queries at no cost. However, in the near future Yahoo! will introduce a fee structure for BOSS usage above 10,000 search queries per day. This will most likely not impact the majority of websites using BOSS, however for more information, please click here.

Are there examples of sites that have implemented BOSS?

Yes. OneRiot, hakia, Daylife, and Cluuz are all examples of websites that have implemented Yahoo! Search BOSS.

How is Search for BOSS different from Dreamweaver Tools for Google?

While Search for BOSS and Dreamweaver Tools for Google both allow you to add search to a website, Search for BOSS can be rebranded and allows for complete customization of the search form and results page. As such, with Search for BOSS you can maintain full control over the design of the search you implement.
