    YaCy - p2p-based distributed Web Search Engine

    With yacy there is no central server/company. No one beeing able to censor your search results or to log and sell your private information.

    It's still pretty early and the search results are not really comparable to google yet, but as soon as let's say 1.000 peers will be up and running (Your own home dial-up computer could be one of those!) I'm sure that google has not a chance anymore. peer2peer is just superior compared to central servers if it comes to quantity and actuality of search results.

    regards,

    Well, we do have YaCy. http://www.yacy.net/yacy/

    Basically it works as a proxy that do the "crawling" on pages as you visit them. It's still far from a really usable system, but otoh its still in beta and very few seem to know of it.

    "And google finally could have a nice open source competitor."

    There is already a *possible" OSS competitor for quite some time for quite some time ... although the project still lacks a few thousand people running that peer to peer based search engine.

    Take a look at http://www.yacy.net/yacy/ and try it out.
