The reason I'm (apparently uncritically;-) enthusiastic is that Anthony
& I are friends and we've discussed freedom & privacy issues
extensively. He's a coder with serious smarts/skills/background, and he
walks his talk ferociously, so if he's endorsing something as a viable
privacy application, I trust his judgement.

I'd love to try this.

field, else I'd say more;-)

YaCy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YaCy> is a free
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software> distributed search
engine <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_search_engine>,
built on principles of peer-to-peer
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer> (P2P) networks. All
YaCy-peers are equal and no central server
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_%28computing%29> exists. It
can be run either in a crawling
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_crawler> mode or as a
local proxy server <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server>,
indexing web pages visited by the person running YaCy on his or
her computer. (Several mechanisms are provided to protect the
user's privacy.)
Access to the search functions is
given
by a locally running web server which provides a search box to
enter search terms, and returns search results in a similar
format to other popular search engines.
Thoughts?
