YaCy new search technology

It run a local server, on your machine, adn communicates over the YaCa network. So long Giggle and FootBooks and LinkedSpam and whatever. Here is a query cramed into the Url named parameters:
http://localhost:8090/yacysearch.html?query=better+economics&Enter=Search&verify=iffresh&contentdom=text&nav=hosts%2Cauthors%2Cnamespace%2Ctopics%2Cfiletype%2Cprotocol&startRecord=0&indexof=off&meanCount=5&resource=global&urlmaskfilter=.*&prefermaskfilter=&maximumRecords=10

Notice the host? that is local host, it is likely the one my machine uses, 127.0.0.1 The query system is built from active nodes, every computer listens and talks. Listening is no big deal, its a few bytes stored somewhere differently that is all, no energy costs as long as you use little of it. You really do not even need an IP, you just need the bots to make sure you hoe computer is indexed properly. It is a revolution, singularity stuff.

What is going on? We just boosted the IQ of the web by two or three. What we are doing is a very big deal. My graph machine wants to be part of the YaCy framework. It wants to index your searches every where, and share them, under you control. That is what YaCa wants. YaCa is open source.
