YaCy Grid Component: Search

The YaCy Grid is the second-generation implementation of YaCy, a peer-to-peer search engine. A YaCy Grid installation consists of a set of micro-services which communicate with each other using the MCP, see https://github.com/yacy/yacy_grid_mcp

Purpose

The Search microservice is a search aggregation server. In the current implementation status there is not yet any aggregation implemented. However, the microservice can be used to access the MCP-internal search servlet which is deployed in the search microservices as well.

To use the search service, call: http://localhost:8800/yacy/grid/mcp/index/yacysearch.json?query=42 or http://localhost:8800/yacy/grid/mcp/index/gsasearch.xml?q=42
