Yahoo's search engine is starting to cull fee-based content from news providers such as The Wall Street Journal Online and from research providers such as Forrester Research.

Yahoo has introduced a test version of a new service called Yahoo Search Subscriptions that indexes fee-based content and makes it searchable, the Sunnyvale, California, company announced today.

However, finding links to this type of content via Yahoo doesn't automatically grant users access to it. If they haven't already, users must subscribe with each provider to view its fee-based content.

Users can try this beta service. They can also test-drive the service by configuring the preferences of the general Yahoo Web search service to include these fee-based results.

Expect More Sites

Yahoo Search Subscriptions also indexes fee-based content from Consumer Union's ConsumerReports.org, TheStreet.com, the Massachusetts Medical Society's New England Journal of Medicine, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Financial Times.

The list is expected to grow. In the coming weeks, the service will include content from Dow Jones Reuters Business Interactive LLC's Factiva, Reed Elsevier's LexisNexis AlaCarte service, The Thomson Corporation's Thomson Gale, and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
