What is YaCy?
YaCy is a free search engine that anyone can use to build a search portal for their intranet or to help search the public internet. When contributing to the world-wide peer network, the scale of YaCy is limited only by the number of users in the world and can index billions of web pages. It is fully decentralized, all users of the search engine network are equal, the network does not store user search requests and it is not possible for anyone to censor the content of the shared index.

Better than google as it is decentralized and does not censor results. Does not push a liberal agenda like google and most search engines.
If anyone succeeded in opening it, please contact me.
