From the article (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040726/ap_on_re_us/ap_online_search_1)

The Associated Press announced Monday that is taking steps on behalf of its member newspapers and broadcasters to explore the development of a tool that would more thoroughly search online news content, past and present.

The goal is to offer a search engine with more participating news organizations and more content than is currently available today, said Tom Curley, AP's president and CEO. He added that the search solutions are expected this year

In addition, the AP is developing tools that would help its members capture more online traffic and track usage of their content, Curley said.

A bit more in this news release. (http://www.ap.org/pages/about/pressreleases/pr_072604.html)

Sounds like Amazon's "Search Inside the Book" and taking it as a search differentiation point for online users with A9.com (http://www.A9.com).

Great! More speciallized search engines.
