YaCy is a server process that can be administrated and used
|
|
with your web browser:
|
|
browse to http://localhost:8080 where you can see your personal
|
|
search, configuration and administration interface.
|
|
|
|
If you want to use the built-in proxy, simply configure your internet connection
|
|
to use a proxy at port 8080. You can also change this default proxy port.
|
|
|
|
If you like to use YaCy not as proxy but only as distributed
|
|
crawling/search engine, you can do so.
|
|
Start crawling at the 'Index Creation' menu point.
|
|
|
|
You can add a YaCy toolbar to your Firefox web browser.
|
|
This release contains the yacybar.xpi file from Alexander Schier and Martin Thelian.
|
|
Please install this file as a Firefox extension.

|
|

|
If you like to have a customized version for special needs,
|
|
feel free to ask the author for a business proposal to customize YaCy
|
|
according to your needs. We also provide integration solutions if the
|

software is about to be integrated into your enterprise application.
