"""Search Factory - simple API to create search objects

This module implements a few convenience functions to make it easy and safe
to create search objects. This is not the most efficient way to use the web
services, but it's convenient. Future releases of the APIs will hopefully
also make this factory implementation less cumbersome.

    """Create a Yahoo Web Services object, and configure it

    This is a simple "factory" function to instantiate and configure
    a Yahoo Web Services object. For example:

        app_id = "YahooDemo"
        srch = create_search("Web", app_id, query="Yahoo", results=4)
        if srch is not None:
            dom = srch.get_results()

    The first argument is one of the following "classes" of searches:

        Web	       - Web search
        Context        - Contextual Web search
        Related	       - Web search Related Suggestions
        Spelling       - Web search Spelling Suggestions

        Video	       - Video search
        Image	       - Image search
        News	       - News article search
        Local	       - Local search
        Term           - Term extraction service

        Artist         - Find information on a musical performer
        Album          - Find information about albums
        Song           - Provide information about songs
        SongDownload   - Find links to various song providers of a song
        Podcast        - Search for a Podcast site/feed

        PageData       - Find all pages belonging to a domain
        InlinkData     - Show pages linking to a specific page


    The second argument, app_id (or appid), is an application specific
    identifier, provided by Yahoo. The web services will not accept any
    requests without a proper AppID.

    All other arguments must be valid named arguments, and the allowed
    set of parameters depends on the specific class of search being
    instantiated. See http://developer.yahoo.net/search/ for a more
    comprehensive list and documentation of allowed parameters for all
    types of searches.
