NAME

WWW::Search::WashPost - WWW::Search backend for searching www.washingtonpost.com

SYNOPSIS

   use WWW::Search;
   my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('WashPost');
   my $sQuery = WWW::Search::escape_query("japan prime minister");
   $oSearch->native_query($sQuery);
   while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result())
     { print $oResult->url, "\n"; }

DESCRIPTION

This class is a specialization of WWW::Search. It handles making and interpreting searches on news at The Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com.

This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through WWW::Search objects.

NOTES

In the resulting WWW::SearchResult objects, the following elements will be set (in addition to the usual title, description, etc.):
source
Something like ``Post'' or a certain ``Edition''.
location
The page number of the print edition, e.g. ``E05''.
category
The type of item found, either ``Article'' or ``Photo''.
seller
The author or photographer.

SEE ALSO

To make new backends, see WWW::Search.

CAVEATS

This backend (and all its subclasses) only searches news stories from the last 14 days. (This is a restriction on the Washington Post website that we can not avoid.)
