## What is this?
|
||||
|
||||
The YaCy search engine software provides results from a network of independent peers,
|
||||
instead of a central server. It is a distributed network where no single entity decides
|
||||
what to list or order it appears in.
|
||||
## What is YaCy?
|
||||
|
||||
User privacy is central to YaCy, and it runs on each user's computer, where search terms are
|
||||
hashed before they being sent to the network. Everyone can create their individual
|
||||
search indexes and rankings, and a truly customized search portal.
|
||||
|
||||
Each YaCy user is either part of a large search network (search indexes can be
|
||||
exchanged with other installation over a built-in peer-to-peer network protocol)
|
||||
or the user runs YaCy to produce a personal search portal that is either public or private.
|
||||
YaCy is a full search engine application containing a server hosting a search index,
|
||||
a web application to provide a nice user front-end for searches and index creation
|
||||
and a production-ready web crawler with a scheduler to keep a search index fresh.
|
||||
|
||||
YaCy search portals can also be placed in an intranet environment, making
|
||||
it a replacement for commercial enterprise search solutions. A network
|
||||
scanner makes it easy to discover all available HTTP, FTP and SMB servers.
|
||||
|
||||
To create a web index, YaCy has a web crawler for
|
||||
everybody, free of censorship and central data retention:
|
||||
- Search the web (automatically using all other YaCy peers)
|
||||
- Co-operative crawling; support for other crawlers
|
||||
- Intranet indexing and search
|
||||
- Set up your own search portal
|
||||
- All users have equal rights
|
||||
- Comprehensive concept to anonymize the users' index
|
||||
Running a personal Search Engine is a great tool for privacy; indeed YaCy
|
||||
was created with the privacy aspect as priority motivation for the project.
|
||||
|
||||
To be able to perform a search using the YaCy network, every user has to set up
|
||||
their own node. More users means higher index capacity and better distributed
|
||||
indexing performance.
|
||||
You can also use YaCy with a customized search page in your own web applications.
|
||||
|
||||
## Large-Scale Web Search with a Peer-to-Peer Network
|
||||
|
||||
Each YaCy peer can be part of a large search network where search indexes can be
|
||||
exchanged with other YaCy installation over a built-in peer-to-peer network protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the default operation that enables new users to instantly access
|
||||
a large-scale search cluster, operated only by YaCy users.
|
||||
|
||||
You can opt-out from the YaCy cluster operation by choosing a different operation
|
||||
mode in the web interface. You can also opt-out from the network in individual searches,
|
||||
turning the use of YaCy a completely privacy-aware tool - in this operation mode search
|
||||
results are computed from the local index only.
