Exactly how, if you don’t use the API, are you using Yahoo’s search? Are you posting the raw http to Yahoo?
You have to read the terms of service of Yahoo to see if this is an issue:
And why not use the API? Using Yahoo’s API is no more a violation of the iOS development license than Twitteriffic using the Twitter API.
My feeling is even if everything is up and up with Yahoo, you’ll probably get pinged on this when your app gets reviewed because it looks like you’re doing something sneaky. Better off using the API.
