Do they really mean unlimited queries? I think they need to do or say more to assure the developers they really meant unlimited.

The API can be found at http://developer.yahoo.com/search/boss/boss_guide/index.html and it seems very simple:

   http://boss.yahooapis.com/ysearch/{vertical}/v1/{query}?appid=xyz[&param1=val1&param2=val2&etc]
   vertical  - web , image , news...
   query     - text query
   appid     - your Yahoo application id
   parm1,2,3 - filter, type...
   filter    -  -hate , -porn...
   type      -  pdf , html , nonhtml , ppt ...
