Non-censored Federated Search Engine

Posted on May 22, 2022

Now that duckduckgo.com and swisscows.com/ch are censoring, as bing.com and google.com have always done, and since what else is out there, save for yandex.com which censors but on different content, there is nothing else out there that does not censor except for yacy.com. Searx DOES only proxy requests from the others above, it provides privacy but does not provide uncensored results.

So to that end, I’ve installed a federated Yacy server and made it publicly available.

You can reach it at yacy.eskimo.com/ or from eskimo.com/ (web apps) menu.

It’s just started indexing so the local database isn’t very complete yet but it will return results from ALL of the federated Yacy peers so you will see good results even now. They will only get better with time.

However, use with caution, remember this is NOT a censored search engine so no doubt you will find things in the Not Safe For Work and NOT Family Friendly category as well as ALL political views, even those that offend you.

@ndfree Not familiar with seeker, but mine will return quite a lot on obscure terms and things others block like negative vax results, election fraud, etc, but it will get better as time goes and I build a larger local database.

Also, if it gets a little slow as with friendica in the 6-9pm Pacific time area, this is because my router is running out of steam. It has 2 500Mhz MIPS cores and CPU is maxing out at times during those hours (transiently), I've got a new router on order that should be here in 7-10 days that will have 4 1.7Ghz MIPS cores (about 6.8 times the CPU) that should resolve this.
