I wrote a plugin for Wordpress that adds the Y!Q Yahoo context search to blogs. It’s really a rough in at the request of Jeremy Zawodny who has provided details on incorporating it into MoveableType. Yahoo continues to put some great products out. I’m going to run the plugin on my Fog theme to see how it performs.
If you’re interested in trying the plugin out on your own blog, you can download it here.

You should’ve read his comments first, I beat you by a day ;-)

Also, yours won’t quite work as you don’t add the script tag that is required for Y!Q :)
Not that there’s anything wrong with multiple plugins, mind you :)

Collin, actually step 1 of the README provides the code to paste into the template for the javascript. I haven’t looked at yours but do you do yours all within the template or does the user have to make template mods?

The only mod required for mine is playing the doYQhtml() call in your template somewhere. I hook into the wp_head() function to add the javascript automatically.
Unfortunately there is no hook I haven been able to find to successfully add it to the individual article pages automatically.
While I can add it, because of the hook’s location, it loses the title info, making it completely useless.
Eventually I hope to find a hook that works properly so you don’t have to add the doYQhtml() function call, but until then, it’s at least a simple mod :)
