The Sunnyvale-based portal and search company has added another source to its subscription search product.

Yahoo's recent launch of a service that can sift through subscription-based content has gained access to the Factiva service. Factiva is a Dow Jones and Reuters company.

In a press release, Factiva disclosed the new agreement. "The addition of Factiva headlines to Yahoo! Search Subscriptions provides a wider audience of web searchers with access to the best of the business deep web," said Greg Gerdy, Factiva vice president and director of channel marketing and strategy.

"Factiva is committed to integrating our news and business information into our users' workflow, and the web is an important part of that."

Yahoo Search Subscription users can now sift through 90 days of Factiva's business news archives. Also, news and other information on current topics will be returned to a query.

Once a user clicks through a Yahoo result derived from the Factiva database, they will be taken to a Factiva page. Full access to the article can be purchased there for $1.50 USD, or access to ten Factiva articles may be bought for $9.95.
