The proxy 'scrapes' the content that it passes and creates an index that can be shared between every YACY Proxy daemons.
You can use the indexing feature for intranet indexing:
you instantly have a search service at hand to index all intranet-served web pages.
You don't need to set up a separated search service. And the used <ahref="http://www.anomic.de/AnomicPlasma/index.html">PLASMA</a>
indexing is not a naive quick-hack but an <ahref="Technology.html">properly engineered and extremely fast algorithm</a>;
it is capable of indexing a nearly unlimited number of pages, without slowing down the search process.
</td></tr><tr><tdvalign="top"><b>p2p-Based Global Search Engine</b></td><td>
The proxy contains an index-sharing p2p-based algorithm which creates a global distributed search engine.
This spawns a world-wide global search index.
The current release is a minimum implementation of this concept and shall prove it's functionality.
</td></tr><tr><tdvalign="top"><b>Caching HTTP and transparent HTTPS Proxy</b></td><td>
With optional pre-fetching. HTTP 1.1 with GET/HEAD/POST/CONNECT is supported. This is sufficient for nearly all public web pages.
HTTP headers are transparently forwarded. HTTPS connections through target port 443 are transparently forwarded, non-443 connections are suppressed to enhance security. Both (HTTP and HTTPS) proxies share the same proxy port, which is by default port 8080.
the proxy does not need to have a window-based environment and can run on a screen-less router; therefore you may run the proxy on your already existing servers, whatever they are since YACY Proxy is written in java and will run also on your platform.
