Yahoo! Search Boss is an open search web services platform launched by [[Yahoo!]] in July 2008. BOSS allows users to use the Yahoo! search index to create their own web-scale search products. In December 2008, five months after BOSS' launch, Yahoo! announced that BOSS is averaging 10 million queries per day, which break down to about 100 queries per second. The Yahoo! Developer Network website says that monetizing options for BOSS are in the works for 2009.CNET: Yahoo BOSS just behind Ask.com... (December 8, 2008)
BOSS Team Quote
We believe growing to more than 100 queries a second in just over 5 months says something about the demand for an open search platform.
