This should not be hard to do. On the other hand, for the search you listed below, Yahoo notably fails to produce a link to [[Thomas Jefferson]] in *any* of their results (not just the first 20 - the link is simply not there!), whereas it is the first result on Google.

Indeed, Yahoo seems to quite reliably _not_ turn up the page with the exact title you're searching for.

Thomas Jefferson, atmospheric pressure, Abraham Lincoln, military-industrial complex, Napoleonic wars... Ah, it did turn up European Union. Well, one out of six ain't bad. Well, I know which search I'm sticking with for my daily needs... :)

This is a request from Yahoo that I'd like to rush to accomodate, as they are showing lots of WikiLove toward the project of late.

I hadn't heard that Yahoo even knew WP existed - what form is all this WikiLove taking? Hopefully not one of those "special" kinds of love... :-)

They're interested in re-using some of our content in their movies and entertainment areas, possibly more, and we've chatted a bit about how they could do that. They sounded favorable to the idea of donating some money. They love us.

And they're offering us a way to work directly with their new system so that our content can be indexed more or less realtime, i.e. we will give them an ability to grab an xml feed.

We have an XML feed?

Not yet, but we'll make one for them.
