DECENTRALIZE - run this search portal yourself (if you like). Just follow these steps:
download the software from yacy.net and run it. (you need OpenJDK6). A http server is started and serves the administration pages.
open http://localhost:8080/ConfigBasic.html and select 'Search portal for your own web pages' ('Intranet Indexing' if you wanto to do this for your / other network) -> Set Configuration
click on 'System Update' and use 'Automatic Update' to get the latest features which are needed for this. The Peer re-starts automatically. Wait and open http://localhost:8080 again.
in 'Scan Range' enter some IPs (comma-separated) that shall be used as prototype for a 255.255.255.0 subrange. I use '81.163.150.96,81.163.2.42,81.163.18.81,81.163.62.38,81.163.22.118, 81.163.112.96' (without quotes)
at 'Scheduler' select 'scan and add all sites with granted access automatically' -> Scan. Wait. This makes a portscan and ftp/smb access test on the given range. Wait at least one minute. Keep calm.
You should now see a list of hosts that are crawled. Your CPU load should increase. All IPs are scanned every 10 minutes, but crawls are done only for new visible servers.
You can monitor the crawler at 'Crawler Monitor' ( http://localhost:8080/Crawler_p.html ).
You may want to increase the memory at 'Admin Console' -> 'Performance' ( http://localhost:8080/Performance_p.html ) (you must restart then but wait until the FTP site-listing is done it is lost otherwards :-(
Please set a very low download limit at 'Advanced Settings' -> 'Crawler Settings' ( http://localhost:8080/Settings_p.html?page=crawler ) .. if documents are not loaded, just their document name is indexed.
Ready - search at 'Interactive local search' ( http://localhost:8080/yacyinteractive.html )
You may want to set a peer password at http://localhost:8080/ConfigAccounts_p.html
Get the right look at http://localhost:8080/ConfigAppearance_p.html and select the 27c3 Skin
Set search page descriptions and images at http://localhost:8080/ConfigPortal.html
