Overview

This class is a specialization of WWW::Search. It handles making and interpreting searches on news at The Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com.

This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through WWW::Search objects.

Notes

In the resulting WWW::SearchResult objects, the following elements will be set (in addition to the usual title, description, etc.):

`source`	Something like "Post" or a certain "Edition".
`location`	The page number of the print edition, e.g. "E05".
`category`	The type of item found, either "Article" or "Photo".
`seller`	The author or photographer.

Caveats

This backend (and all its subclasses) only searches news stories from the last 14 days. (This is a restriction on the Washington Post website that we can not avoid.)
