We now have our own instance of Yacy. Yacy is a proper peer to peer search engine. You see, there are only a few search engines out there, maybe less than 10, and google dominates them all. Only google, microsoft, and a few others, can crawl the internet and provide relevant search results. They are giants and have big and fluffy servers.
We already provide a trade-free search engine at search.trom.tf - what this does is to use google and the like, to search whatever you want, and remove the trackers and ads, so you can see the results in a trade-free manner. But of course we rely 100% on other search engines. Not anymore!
With Yacy our server does its own indexing. It searchers on websites by itself. Thus decoupling it from any other search engine. It communicates with other Yacy servers/peers so together we can build a huge and decentralized search engine. But Yacy on its own is still limited. There are trillions and trillions of webpages out there. Ours will be able to index millions. This is why we have integrated it with search.trom.tf. And so, now when you search on search.trom.tf you'll also get results from our own search engine, Yacy.
The great part about is is that we are prioritizing the indexing of relevant websites, from tromsite.com to videoneat.com or directory.trade-free.org, or sources from tromnews.com. So that the first results will be a LOT more relevant.
Searching for TROM on our search engine:
vs google:
Here are more examples."the blue planet documentary" can be found in the first results on our search engine - like you can watch it from videoneat.com or docuwiki.org.
Of course not at all on google:
And so on. We are adding more relevant sources right now.
search.trom.tf/ is a very powerful search engine. We use it daily. Take advantage of that!
And please support us financially if you can tromsite.com/donate/ - so that we keep these projects alive and relevant. #tromlive
