require 'rubygems'
require 'yahoo/web_search'
ys = Yahoo::WebSearch.new application_id
results, = ys.search 'madonna'
results.each do |result|
puts "#{result.title} at #{result.url}"
end
require 'rubygems'
require 'yahoo/local_search'
yls = Yahoo::LocalSearch.new application_id
results, = yls.locate 'pizza', 94306, 2
results.each do |location|
puts "#{location.title} at #{location.address}, #{location.city}"
end
