New Yahoo Search Goes Behind Subscription Walls

Yahoo just launched the beta of Yahoo! Search Subscriptions, a new service aimed at allowing search of subscription sites not usually accessible by search engines, and, for subscribers, direct access to the the articles. Results from the subscription search will show up above general results.
Initial participating publications/sites: Consumer Reports; FT.com (60 days); Forrester Research; IEEE Publications; New England Journal of Medicine; The Street; and the Wall Street Journal. It will be interesting to what other sites ask to be added.
Google includes some subscription sites in Google News but no formal subscription-search program as far as I know.
