Yacy is a peer-based, decentralized search engine server. It operates on a distributed network of volunteer-run nodes, allowing users to search the web without relying on centralized servers. Each node in the network contributes to the search index and shares search results with other nodes. By decentralizing the search process, Yacy aims to provide a more resilient and censorship-resistant alternative to traditional search engines. Users can participate in the network by running their own Yacy node, contributing to the collective effort of building a decentralized search infrastructure.
