 [php]
 //...
 protected function processSearch(sfWebRequest $request, sfForm $form)
 {

    if (!$request->getParameter('search'))
    {
        $this->boss = array('results'=>null);

        //for date ranges
        // $search->setAge('100d');


        //see http://developer.yahoo.com/search/boss/boss_guide/Web_Search.html#optional_args_web
        // for view args
        $view = '';//delicious_saves,delicious_toptags,keyterms,searchmonkey_feed

        $this->query = $search_query['q'];

        //the search query
        $search->setQuery($this->query);

        //limit results to one site
        // $search->setSite('seoatl.com');



        // $search->setOrderByDate();


        if(!isset($search_query['start']))
        {
