Using IE, you would do this:
oIE = CREATEOBJECT("InternetExplorer.Application")
oIE.Navigate("www.Yahoo.com")
oIE.Document.Forms(0).p.Value = "Cars"
oIE.Document.Forms(0).Submit
?oIE.Document.Body.InnerHTML

Using wwIPStuff, you would do this:

oIP = CREATEOBJECT("wwIPStuff")
oIP.HTTPConnect("www.yahoo.com")
oIP.AddPostKey("p","cars")
lcBuffer = ""
lnResult = oIP.HTTPGetEx("http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search",@lcBuffer)
?lcBuffer

Note- Yahoo's search form is wierd- it doesn't look like conventional search forms- the action is not clear. The wwIPStuff method I posted gets you results, but the results are "page is not found" or something. If you have the option to use IE for something like this, I would. It also makes parsing the results easier because you can filter out the HTML tags by using the Innertext property of any HTML element, including BODY.
