YaCy
Build a decentralized search index, crawl websites, and search intranets securely. Protect data privacy using a peer-to-peer network and local search modes.
Take control of your web searches and internal data discovery with a fully decentralized, peer-to-peer search engine. This application allows you to host your own search index, ensuring complete privacy by eliminating reliance on centralized, commercial search providers. You can join a global network of users to access a large-scale search cluster or operate entirely offline for maximum security.
Key capabilities include:
- Built-in web crawler: Keep your search index fresh with an automated scheduler.
- Intranet search appliance: Discover and index files across HTTP, FTP, and SMB servers on your local network.
- Privacy-first operation: Compute search results exclusively from your local index to prevent external tracking.
- Developer-friendly APIs: Integrate search functionality into custom web applications using built-in HTTP, XML, and JSON interfaces.
Deploy easily via Docker or compile from source to create a highly customizable, privacy-aware search portal.
