> Is there a way to validate the actual quality and comprehensiveness of YaCY beyond anecdata?

No, because it's your own index essentially, hence the "the quality/experience is pretty much up to you" part.



Yeah, that’s not really reassuring nor indicative of its usefulness or value.


Yeah, if that's how you feel about your own abilities, then I guess that's the way it is. Not sure what that has to do with YaCy or my original comment.


Respectfully, you said:

> YaCy does a pretty good job

I assume that should be qualified with some basic amount of evidence beyond “I said so”? Anyways, thanks for pointing me in the direction of YaCy, will try it out.


How to build a search engine, apparently:

1. Install YaCy

2. Draw the rest of the owl
