First you need to add the git hub sources and install the gem
gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
gem install jpignata-bossman
Next you'll want to create a new initializer, I called mine boss.rb and put this code in it:
require 'bossman'
include BOSSMan
BOSSMan.application_id = "your_yahoo_api_key"
Next you'll want to create a search controller in your application, then you will want put this code in the controller for your action that will handle the results.
@search = BOSSMan::Search.web("#{params[:your_form][:your_search_field]}", 0, 50)
The 50 is the number of results that you want back. I do not store the search results or do any pagination in this example.
Lastly you'll want to code up your views. Here is a sample of my results view and my search form:
*** Search Form ******
<% form_tag :action => "search_results" do %>
<%= label :search_form, :find %>:
<%= text_field :search_form, :find %>
<%= submit_tag 'Search' %>
<% end %>
*** Results View *****
<% if @search.count.to_i > 0 %>
<% @search.results.each do |result| %>
<%= link_to result.title, result.url %>
<%= result.abstract %>
<% end %>
<% else %>
No results found
<% end %>
