Will you search through my privileged content?

Why not? If you're subscribed to Wall Street Jounal, IEEE, LexisNexis, or any of our partners' premium content, you could get them in your search results. We believe that it's a privilege you're entitled to. Choose your subscriptions from the personal preferences page, and we'll include results from your exclusive part of the deep web. If you want results from just your subscriptions, go to http://search.yahoo.com/subscriptions. If you're a hacker, you could also use the subscription parameter in our API. A shameless plug alongside: I had a role in getting you content from New England Journal of Medicine. :p

As a side note, I’ve added several subscription only results to my results, even though I don’t have a subscription. Often I can find additional information that I’m looking for by finding results that refer to these subscription documents. (Well, that or I can go hit up freinds and colleagues who may have subscriptions.)

Interesting use of the feature, JR.

This is a little off topic, but I have written a blog entry about something cool you can do using Yahoo! You can completely do away with the need to subscribe to New York Times Select. “Who Needs TimesSelect?“
