DESCRIPTION¶
This class is a specialization of WWW::Search. It handles making and interpreting searches on news at The Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com.This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through WWW::Search objects.
NOTES¶
In the resulting WWW::SearchResult objects, the following elements will be set (in addition to the usual title, description, etc.):- source
- Something like "Post" or a certain "Edition".
- location
- The page number of the print edition, e.g. "E05".
- category
- The type of item found, either "Article" or "Photo".
- seller
- The author or photographer.
