Today Xiaobian to share with you the use of open source search engine YaCy skills is what the relevant knowledge points, detailed content, clear logic, I believe most people still know too much about this knowledge, so share this article for everyone to refer to, I hope you read this article after some gains, let's learn about it together.

Custom YaCy

Once YaCy is installed, you only need to visit localhost:8090 to use it. To customize the search engine, simply click on the Administration button in the upper right corner (which may be hidden in the menu icon on the small screen).

You can configure YaCy's usage policies for system resources and how to interact with other YaCy clients in the admin panel.

For example, clicking the "First steps" button in the sidebar can configure alternate ports and set YaCy's use of memory and hard disk, while the "Monitoring" panel can monitor YaCy's health. Most of the features are just a few clicks away from the panel, such as the following common features.

Intranet Search Application

There are also many companies on the market that have launched intranet search applications, and YaCy can provide you with one for free. YaCy can index files that can be accessed via HTTP, FTP, Samba, etc., so YaCy can be used as a private file search or a local shared file search within an enterprise. It allows users on the internal network to use your personal YaCy instance to find shared files while remaining invisible to users outside the internal network.

network configuration

YaCy supports privacy and isolation by default. Click the "Network Configuration" link at the top of the "Use Case & Account" page to enter the network configuration panel to set up peer-to-peer networks.

crawl site

YaCy's distributed approach determines that its crawling of pages is user-driven. No large company searches every accessible page on the entire Internet, and this is true for YaCy, where a site is crawled and indexed only if it is specified by users.

The YaCy client provides two ways to crawl pages: you can crawl manually and let YaCy crawl according to suggestions.

YaCy advanced crawler

manual crawling

Manual crawling refers to the crawler task where the user enters the specified website URL and starts YaCy. Simply click on Advanced Crawler and enter a number of URLs you plan to crawl, then select the Do Remote indexing option at the bottom of the page, which causes the client to broadcast the URLs it wants to index to the Internet, and optionally the client accepting these requests can help you crawl them.

Click on the "Start New Crawler Job" button at the bottom of the page to start crawling, and I am doing this for some common and useful sites crawling and indexing.

After the crawler task is started, YaCy will generate and store indexes locally for the pages corresponding to these URLs. In advanced mode, when the local computer allows traffic to and from port 8090, YaCy users across the network can use this index.

Join the crawler network

Although some very dedicated YaCy power users have obsessively crawled a lot of pages on the Internet, it's just a drop in the ocean of pages on the Web. A single user doesn't have the resources of many large corporate crawlers, but a large number of YaCy users can generate much more power if they join together as a community. As long as YaCy's crawler request broadcast function is enabled, other clients can participate in crawling more pages.

Just click "Remote Crawling" at the top of the page in the "Advanced Crawler" panel and check the checkbox next to "Load" to have your client accept crawler task requests from others.

YaCy is not only a powerful search engine, but also provides a rich theme and user experience. You can monitor the YaCy client's network health in the Monitor panel and even see how many people are getting what they need from the YaCy community.

Search engines work.

The longer you use YaCy, the more you think about how search engines change your perspective, because a large part of your experience of the Internet comes from the results of simple queries you make in search engines. In fact, when you talk to people in different industries, you may notice that everyone understands "the Internet" differently. Some people think that Internet search engines are full of advertisements and promotions, and only limited information can be obtained from search results. For example, suppose someone searches constantly for content about keyword X, then most commercial search engines will increase the weight of keyword X in the search results, but at the same time, the weight of another keyword Y will be relatively low, allowing keyword Y to be drowned out in the search results, even if it is better for the specific task.
