"When you run a search via google.com, that search not only goes through the Google servers, but it also places AI answers front and center. That centralized service means Google is in complete control of your searches. What if you could instead use a decentralized server that runs across many devices, each of which is private and not under the control of a single organization? That's YaCy."
"YaCy is a search tool you can deploy to your desktop or any computer on your home LAN that does not collect personalized data and is serious about privacy. YaCy has no "phoning home" integration and does not use cookies (though linked services may). I deployed YaCy over the weekend and have found it to be a remarkable tool, with search results that are quite promising (enough that I've started turning to YaCy as my go-to search tool)."
YaCy is a free, decentralized search engine that runs across multiple private devices, avoiding centralized control and preserving user privacy. The service does not collect personalized data, has no 'phoning home' integration, and does not use cookies (though linked services may). YaCy can be installed on Linux, macOS, and Windows and can be deployed from an executable or via Docker. Deploying YaCy in a dedicated virtual machine or server isolates the search service from main machines and concentrates resources. YaCy search results are promising, and personal deployment allows control over search privacy and eliminates dependence on centralized providers.
