YaCy

 p2p-based distributed Web Search Engine


Für eine deutsche Dokumentation sehen sie bitte hier


  The YaCy project is a new approach to build a P2P-based Web indexing network.

  • Search your own or the global index
  • Crawl your own pages or start distributed crawling
  • Run your peer to support other YaCy crawlers
  • Provide Information on your peer using the built-in http-server, file-sharing zone and wiki

  • Built-in caching http proxy
  • Indexing benefits from the proxy cache; private information is not stored or indexed
  • Usage of the proxy is not a requisite for web indexing, but it enables you to access the new top-level-domains '.yacy'
  • Filter unwanted content like ad- or spyware; share your web-blacklist with other peers

  • Easy installation! No additional database required!

  • No central server!
  • GPL'ed, freeware
