-This is a Open Source Web Search Engine.

-You can also use this software to set up your own search portal, for your
-intranet or the internet.

-WHAT CAN I DO WITH THIS SOFTWARE?
-
+YaCy is a search engine for the Web (supporting also ftp).
+It is neither a search portal nor a portal software but a peer-to-peer
+software that works on principles similar to file sharing.
+The difference is that you do not share any kind of data but web indexes.
+YaCy also generates the indexes it organizes. YaCy is a web crawler for
+everybody, without censorship and central data retention:
- search the web (automatically using all other YaCy peers)
-- crawl the web (and you contribute to the global web index)
+- co-operative crawling; support for other crawlers
+- intranet indexing and search
- set up your own search portal
-- use it as your personal web server
-- use it as your web proxy (..and visited pages are indexed)
-- ensure your privacy when browsing and searching the web
-- many more
+- all users have equal rights
+- comprehensive concept to anonymise the users' index
+To be able to perform a search using the YaCy network, every user has to
+set up their own node. More users are leading to higher index capacity
+and better distributed indexing performance.
