All my Searches have stopped working

Hi all of my searches have stopped working they all used to work but now I get the error:

HTTP Status 404 - /ysearch/web/v1/door+canopies
type Status report
message /ysearch/web/v1/door+canopies
description The requested resource (/ysearch/web/v1/door+canopies) is not available.

This is the same error message on all my sites which are all hosted by different hosting companies, this is obviously very urgent please help asap regards Alistair

Yahoo has discontinued the BOSS V1 API.

The New BOSS V2 API is no longer free, it is a paid for service.

Because of this, the Serch for BOSS Extension has been discontinued and replaced with the BING Search Toolkit:

As I paid for a service and plugin that no longer works I find it bad that you expect me to now buy the Bing search kit what happens if they decide that they no longer want people to use it like yahoo.

we are not able to control what other companies do with the API's They offer. i have credited your account with a copy of the bing search toolkit
