NAME

       WWW::Search::Ebay::ByEndDate - backend for searching www.ebay.com, with results sorted with "items ending first"

SYNOPSIS

	 use WWW::Search;
	 my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('Ebay::ByEndDate');
	 my $sQuery = WWW::Search::escape_query("C-10 carded Yakface");
	 $oSearch->native_query($sQuery);
	 while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result())
	   { print $oResult->url, "
"; }

DESCRIPTION

       This class is a Ebay specialization of WWW::Search.  It handles making and interpreting Ebay searches http://www.ebay.com.

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

NOTES

       The calling program must ensure that the Date::Manip module is able to determine the local timezone.  The easiest way is to set the
       environment variable TZ, or by calling &Date_Init().  See the documentation of Date::Manip.

       The search is done against CURRENT running auctions only.

       The query is applied to TITLES only.

       The results are ordered auctions ending soon first (order of increasing auction ending date).

       In the resulting WWW::Search::Result objects, the description field consists of a human-readable combination (joined with semicolon-space)
       of the Item Number; number of bids; and high bid amount (or starting bid amount).

       In the WWW::Search::Result objects, the change_date field contains the auction ending date & time in ISO 8601 format; i.e.
       year-month-dayThour:minute:second.

       To make new back-ends, see WWW::Search.

NAME

       WWW::Search::AltaVista::Intranet - class for searching via AltaVista Search Intranet 2.3

SYNOPSIS

	 use WWW::Search;
	 my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('AltaVista::Intranet',
				       (_host => 'copper', _port => 9000),);
	 my $sQuery = WWW::Search::escape_query("+investment +club");
	 $oSearch->native_query($sQuery);
	 while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result())
	   { print $oResult->url, "
"; }

DESCRIPTION

       This class implements a search on AltaVista's Intranet ("AVI") Search.

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

NOTES

       If your query includes characters outside the 7-bit ascii, you must tell AVI how to interpret 8-bit characters.	Add an option for 'enc' to
       the native_query() call:

	 $oSearch->native_query(WWW::Search::escape_query('Zuerich'),
				{ 'enc' => 'iso88591'},
			       );

       Hopefully the correct values for various languages can be found in the AVI documentation (sorry, I haven't looked).

TESTING

       There is no standard built-in test mechanism for this module, because very few users of WWW::Search will have AVI installed on their
       intranet.  (How's that for an excuse? ;-)
