NAME
WWW::Search::AltaVista - class for searching www.altavista.com
SYNOPSIS
require WWW::Search;
$search = new WWW::Search('AltaVista');
DESCRIPTION
This class is an AltaVista specialization of WWW::Search. It handles making and
interpreting AltaVista searches http://www.altavista.com.
This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through WWW::Search
objects.
OPTIONS
The default is "any of these words" (OR of query terms).
aqa=all+of+these+words
Add the AND of these words to the query.
aqp=this+exact+phrase

aqo=any+of+these+words
Add the OR of these words to the query. This is where the query is placed by
default.
aqn=none+of+these+words
Add NOT these words to the query.
aqb=(boolean+AND+expression)+NEAR+entry
Add a boolean expression to the query. Operators are AND, OR, AND NOT, and NEAR.
In the browser interface, the boolean expression can not be combined with any
other query types listed above. You should probably build the boolean expression
with parentheses and spaces and urlescape it.
aqs=these+words
Pages containing "these words" will be ranked highest.
kgs=[0,1]
To restrict the search to U.S. websites, set kgs=1. The default is world-wide,
kgs=0.

To restrict the search to pages in English and Spanish, set kls=1. The default is
no language restrictions, kls=0.
filetype=[html,pdf]
To restrict the search to HTML pages only, set filetype=html. To restrict the
search to PDF pages only, set filetype=pdf. The default is no restriction on page
type, filetype=.
rc=dmn&swd=net+org+or.jp
To restrict the search to pages from certain domains, set rc=dmn and set swd to a
list of desired toplevel domains.

PUBLIC METHODS
gui_query

Joe web surfer.
PRIVATE METHODS
