Any sense on if / how people are using key terms for query refinement or other applications? Glen, very cool!

I certainly haven't seen search applications built on top of the Google API that compare to those built on top of Yahoo BOSS, e.g., Duck Duck Go (http://duckduckgo.com/). Perhaps someone here has tried both and can offer a more informed comparison? I had the impression that the Google search API was rather limited.

Wilson Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:32:15 +0000 http://thenoisychannel.com/?p=810#comment-1027 I was at SearchSolutions2008 - an industry enterprise search day in London, and they had someone from Yahoo talking about BOSS and SearchMonkey (http://developer.yahoo.com/searchmonkey/). I asked the presenter whether it was anything more special than the Google API. Unfortunately she had no answer. It didn't fill me with hope! SearchMonkey, however, intrigues me!

A step in the right direction indeed, but a small one. It would be great if they also reported the term frequency for each term, and perhaps allowed a follow-on query to get IDF scores or other components that go into a ranking for each term. That way, a smart client could have some insight into how to use these terms for its own purposes. Cool! A step in the right direction indeed, but a small one.
