YaCy is free software for your own search engine.
Join a community of search engines or make your own search portal!
There are these three use cases you can choose from:
| P2P Mode | Your Search Portal | Intranet Search |
|---|---|---|
| Web Search by the people, for the people: decentralized, all users are equal, no central, no search request storage, shared index. | Your YaCy installation is independent from other peers. Define your own web index and starting your own web crawl. | Create a search portal for your intranet or web pages or your (shared) file system. |
Imagine if, rather than relying on the proprietary software of a large professional search engine operator, your search engine was run across many private devices, not under the control of any one company or individual. Well, that's what YaCy does!
