Now that Google is slowly but surely going to shits, i’m searching for a new search engine, and i was thinking, of going the extra mile and hosting my own, decentralized one, but which one should i choose (YACY, Presearch or Seeks), or are all of them not there yet?

    I’ve tried Yacy plenty of times in the past. It seems to get the job done the best, in my opinion, and gives you a lot of control.

      But is it decentralized? Do the results from multiple spiders get added to give everyone the same quality searches or do I need to scan the whole internet myself?

      [edit] I was looking at this earlier and couldn’t find the info. Started searching again just now and found it immediately… of course… (The answer is YES)

        Yeah. There’s a whole section dedicated to showing varies nodes in the network.
