Help make searching uncluttered and open source Subject description: Yacy search engine development |
|
A new search engine site is hoping to grow. It's called YaCy
It's based on Open Source ideals.
There's a report on the BBC news sitehere
The search web page is here.
It's overloaded at the moment but will pop up if you retry a few times.
| Quote: | | YaCy (pronounced "Ya See") is supported by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) which campaigns on digital rights and tries to help people control their own digital destiny. |

There's also Sphinx. I'm not sure if it is the same thing exactly but it looks like it might replace the present forum Search and it is open source. (Thanks, Aitch. )

If web privacy is your major concern try DuckDuckGo which is now default search engine for Opera and Linux Mint :

Yacy is great. But wont run as root. So I edited the startYacy.sh script, to disable the check. Now there are other wired java errors in /DATA/LOG/yacyXX.log such as
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class net.yacy.cora.protocol.http.HTTPClient
Could someone please check?? I try to run Yacy for some time now.
This would be a great improvement for PUPPY. Freedom of information is a crucial thing for us all.
