WWW::Search::AltaVista::Intranet3(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation WWW::Search::AltaVista::Intranet3(3)

WWW::Search::AltaVista::Intranet3 - class for searching via AltaVista Search Intranet 3.0

  use WWW::Search;
  my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('AltaVista::Intranet3', 
                                (_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, "\n"; }

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.

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('Zürich'),
                         { 'enc' => 'iso88591'},
                        );

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

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? ;-)

Added pod for selecting query language encoding

Added support for score/rank (thanks to Peter von Burg <pvonburg@aspes.ch>)

Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below:
Around line 33:
