Are there any opensource real internet search engines worth looking at? I think we should be working on disrupting search as a whole instead of depending on the Googles, Baidus and Bings of the world.
I'm fully aware of the massive crawling and storage requirements, but opensource projects that can get search right can later 1) be hosted by the powerhouses of the cloud or non-profit parties, or 2) become a fully distributed hosting and crawling effort as in p2p and blockchain.
- vindarel 5y agop2p: there's the Yacy effort. https://yacy.net/ https://yacy.net/ I… couldn't find a portal to try it out (I did years ago, the results need… to be discussed. It's anyways easy to install and to choose what part of the web to crawl.) > YaCy is free software for your own search engine. maybe they rebranded and don't aspire to be a complete web search engine?
