Yacy a P2P search engine
Yacy is a P2P search
engine where in you can participate in crawling the web and create a
local repository of index.You can also use it as your proxy server.
disabled remote accept/reject
One big flaw is that it does not have any parameters to control disk space usage.So it will eat up all the hard drive space that it can.
From a privacy standpoint since all the websites which has your private/personal information , they don't get indexed because as per Yacy these pages are detected and not crawled.
Also if you want to filter some unwanted websites, you can look at this thread http://www.yacy-forum.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=78
If you are using Yacy I will highly recommend that you use the FoxyProxy Extension for Firefox as that will allow you to browse with the Yacy proxy and then switch to not using it.You can also create a blacklist/whitelist of URL's and the proxy server will be used dynamically.
You can also customize the your yacy home page by modifying/htroot/index.html
