That's why we need a truly decentralized search engine so that there's no one to trust and to have power therefore no way to pressure someone.

- bobajeff 11y agoHow about one that can do multi-term queries at a decent speed while at a large scale while still giving good results?
- tiatia 11y agoI assume this should increase with the number of users? no?
- jerf 11y agoBeware the delta between promises and reality. I started out thinking "theory and reality", but, even in theory, adding a ton of very slow, latent, and unreliable data sources to your query doesn't produce a fast result.
- bobajeff 11y agoNo. I don't believe Yacy will reach exceptable performance as it scales. I encourage people interested to look at "Peer-to-Peer Information Retrieval: An Overview" in order to get a better understanding on what technical challenges distributed search engines like Yacy have yet to overcome and the paths researchers are taking to overcome them.
