For instance, please look at recent additions (e.g., siteContext). Currently it does not do clustering on its results.

Also, what thoughts about search results clustering, and or do you consider this the clustering answer? Finally, any public domain MP3s by Reiner's band we can check out?! :-) Y!Q is an interesting idea, however I wonder if the algorithm is limited to yielding “local” optimums, rather than global optimums for a given search, or if the algorithm has some break-out functionality.

Typically in the blog scenario it works fine if you chose the title of an blog article to be the context. Alternatively, the article itself may be a good choice, or a combination of both. The API currently does not support that you can specify your own keywords. However, we added a new parameter 'p' to the Y!Q API that allows a Web master to have more control over the related search results: The parameter allows setting a focus. So this is something you may want to try out. Please check out our API page (http://yq.search.yahoo.com/splash/embed.html) for more details.

I am a blogger and would like to show all my related posts through YIQ. Is that possible ? Does YIQ support site specific search ?
