Yahoo! BOSSI recently did a presentation in London with Skills Matter about Yahoo! BOSS. The small group was filled with ideas about extending BOSS functionality. I wrote a new post for the Yahoo Developer Network that expands on some of these concepts: Make BOSS More Dynamic.

The post discusses the idea of generating the “sites” argument, which tells BOSS to limit the results to a specified list of web sites, dynamically for each query. This allows each query to determine what sites are experts and then create a result set based on those experts.

I have built a prototype and will release it this week after I have a time to clean up some of the loose ends.

I gave a presentation at the recent www2009 conference in Madrid about the Future of Vertical Search Engines. It was a great event and I enjoyed watching researchers and developers from across the world informally discuss ideas and collaborations.

The Yahoo! Developer Network just published my blog post: The Future of Vertical Search Engines. The blog post includes much more information that is hard to describe in a simple set of PowerPoint slides.

I hope you find the information helpful. Join the conversation on the YDN blog.
