I remembered seeing hashtag results in my searches. But today's test search ( #hashtag Instagram ) on a #Fediverse members #YaCy instance shows no results from #Instagram, just #Twitter. https://nu.federati.net/url/219700 [sarchy.tech]

@agnelvishal Anyway, it is great to see you hosting a #YaCy instance, especially if your instance is contributing to the overall "Freeworld" network by crawling and indexing sites.
-
@agnelvishal Are you saying that sarchy.tech's #YaCy instance gathers additional crawl data from #CommonCrawl? (Note: I'm not talking about doing its own crawling to add to the Freeworld index; when I operated YaCy peers, I had them crawling sites related to subjects I often search on) Does it disperse that crawl data throughout the YaCy Freeworld P2P search network?

@ajroach42 I don't think there is a good and concise write-up about #Searx. You're probably best served by trying out a few Searx instances and reading the short description on https://github.com/asciimoo/searx
There's also #Seeks https://beniz.github.io/seeks/ (last commit 2014) and #YaCy https://github.com/yacy/yacy_search_server (which isn't the best at finding what you're looking for). It appears that #Gigablast https://github.com/gigablast/open-source-search-engine now has a self-hostable FOSS version.

@strypey Not seeing the rest of your thread, but #YaCy source is at https://github.com/yacy/yacy_search_server [github.com]

I still think that #YaCy might benefit from an occasional infusion of crawl data from #CommonCrawl.
-
On #YaCy and search results, when I was running it, I was doing a lot of database related searches, so I set up crawls to cover every DB related site I found on other search engines. Despite that, DB related searches still returned very low quality results.

@blort @johnnynull I noticed years ago that #DDG’s results differ from #Yahoo’s, which differ from #Bing’s. Non-bubbling may be part of it, but it doesn’t explain the sharply different results (or at least sort order of the results) between the Bing and Yahoo.
It doesn’t surprise me that #Startpage’s results differ from #Google’s, even beyond the filter bubble.
As for which to use, I use a variety, including Startpage, but the main one is determined mainly by quality of results, and Startpage’s results are generally inferior to #DuckDuckGo and to #Searx & #Seeks (but far superior to #YaCy or the abysmal results that #Ask gives).

@ckeen @geniusmusing
The #VPS setup was Debian, 4GiB of RAM. I changed the #YaCy settings to use up to 2GiB of that. YaCy was installed and regularly updated through APT. I allowed it to connect to the “OneWorld” network of peers. I think It used port 8090.
No other services were installed.

@ckeen @geniusmusing
I used to host #YaCy on a #VPS, but I’m currently using metager.org (because search.yacy.net has been broken for a little while)
-
@geniusmusing #DDG is my primary search engine. #YaCy is my secondary. I still end up switching to #StartPage / #Google / #Seeks for 2 or 3 out of 10 searches because search results aren’t satisfactory.
-
@bthall Maybe #YaCy can be set not to connect to the rest of the YaCy instances. I think it is available at yacy.net.

Your desired architecture as described sounds like what I've heard of Faroo. ( http://faroo.com/ ) I've never tried it, so I'm not endorsing it at all.
I have hosted a #YaCy ( https://yacy.net/en/index.html ) node before, which has quite a different architecture, but despite the size of the index, the results are pretty poor.
-
@xj9 #Searx still depends on #corpocentric search engines for its results. It therefore depends on their good will. In this way, it is similar to #Startpage / #Ixquick and #DDG.
I'd love to see a P2P search like #Yacy, but with good results.
-
@combaticus @gastongarciao @CarBlanez33 @PhoneBoy Or we could start using, hosting, and _improving_ something like #Yacy P2P search. Then we'd pay up front by hosting instances attached to the global index, rather than paying by submitting to ads and intrusive spying.
