Details

+

+

YaCy has alarge number of document parsers included.



-YaCy supports the following features:
- +

+

When YaCy has indexed a number of web pages, it starts to distribute parts of the web index +to other YaCy peers. That causes that all indexes that users of YaCy generate are mixed with each other. +The indexes are stored to such peers that they can be found efficiently again.



-
p2p-Based Global Search Engine -YaCy has an index-sharing p2p-based algorithm which creates a global distributed search engine. -This spawns a world-wide global search index. +

+

When a web search in you local peer is done, it searches not only the own database, but also +databases of other YaCy peers. Only those peers are searched that should have the specific index.



-
Caching HTTP and transparent HTTPS Proxy with page indexing -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 '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 PLASMA -indexing is not a naive quick-hack but an properly engineered and extremely fast algorithm; -it is capable of indexing a nearly unlimited number of pages, without slowing down the search process. +

+

The workflow inside YaCy. There is no user action required for steering of the workflow, +but the user interface offers a large number of monitoring pages that show status information about the queues and stacks.

-
Privacy -YaCy protects your privacy. Please see the -privacy secion in the documentation.; -
Security -YaCy can block unwanted access by setting IP filters and http passwords. -You can also enhance security by inspecting the source code, which is completely included. -Check the code and re-build your own YaCy application. -
Web/HTTP server -The built-in HTTP server is the interface to the local and global search service; -the server may not only be used to administrate your peer, but also to serve as an intranet/internet web server. -
Ideal Internet Cafe Proxy Solution -Every Internet Cafe needs a caching proxy instead only a NAT to route the cafe's client traffic from the internet to maximize bandwidth. -This can only be done using a caching proxy. This is naturally provided by YaCy. Future versions may also include -billing support functions. -
Terminal-Based -YaCy does not need to have a window-based environment and can run on a screen-less router; -it has a user interface based on web pages using its own http server. - -
Open-Source -This is a simple necessity for an application that implements a server. -Don't use any other server software that does not come with the source code. -Volunteers to extent YaCy are welcome! -If you think you have a great idea how to extend/enhance/fix YaCy, -please let me know. - -
Easy Installation -You just need to decompress the release containter with your favourite decompressor -(zip, rar, sit, tar etc. will do) and double-click the application wrapper -for your OS. No restart necessary. -Just double-click the application wrapper. - -
Licence Model -This is GPL-based freeware/open-source software! -The release comes with complete source code. -See the license for details. - -
