README for YaCy (C) by Michael Peter Christen; mc@yacy.net --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit http://yacy.net for latest changes or new documentation. YaCy comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY! This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see file gpl.txt for details. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT IS THIS? YaCy is a search engine for the Web (supporting also ftp). It is neither a search portal nor a portal software but a peer-to-peer software that works on principles similar to file sharing. The difference is that you do not share any kind of data but web indexes. YaCy also generates the indexes it organizes. YaCy is a web crawler for everybody, without 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 anonymise the users' index To be able to perform a search using the YaCy network, every user has to set up their own node. More users are leading to higher index capacity and better distributed indexing performance. WHERE IS THE DOCUMENTATION? Documentation can be found at: (Home Page) http://yacy.net/ (German Forum) http://forum.yacy.de/ (Wiki:de) http://www.yacy-websuche.de/wiki/index.php/De:Start (Wiki:en) http://www.yacy-websearch.net/wiki/index.php/En:Start Every of these locations has a (YaCy) search functionality which combines all these locations into one search result.
