   I used to host a #YaCy p2p search node ( https://www.yacy.net/ ), and I intend to do so again in the future, but now I'm seeing "YaCy Grid" (a non-peer-to-peer search) is being developed. https://searchlab.eu/t/the-story-of-yacy-grid/48/17

     But frankly, my interest in #YaCy is because of its peer to peer nature. I understand it wasn't good enough to run a search engine business with it. (As Sarchy found out.) Its results weren't great anyway.

     A #YaCy dev has an idea: peers can use #S3 buckets to store and share their index data.
     
     I see one flaw right away: every peer would need to run a second VPS (and possibly more) with #min.io to provide the storage backend ... or rent such storage from Amazon or other cloud vendors.
