Gigablast OSS search engine

[Paul van der Vlis]

Hello,

I found an open source search engine, what looks-like useable:
https://gigablast.com/
Strange that I've never heard of it before, it's OSS since 2013:
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/gigablast-now-an-open-source-search-engine-217624911.html

When I search for the word "license" in the source code I find many
different licenses like GPL2 or higher, LGPL, MIT, Apache, Lucent,
OpenSSL, Eric Young.
https://github.com/gigablast/open-source-search-engine/search?p=2&q=license&utf8=%E2%9C%93

The search engine did not found all pages, but after adding them
everything was found directly. http://www.gigablast.com/addurl
And many sites are allready indexed.

There is an advanced search with many possibilities:

Disadvantage: There is also a "commercial version" what seems to be
faster, not sure about the license there. Not sure what I am using when
I use the webinterface at Gigablast.com. Does somebody know someone who
uses for sure the OSS version?

Yes, I've heard about YaCy. But when I tested it, I found it not
useable. e.g. here: http://5.45.105.16:18091/ more sites here:
http://www.yacyweb.de/peers.htm

Any comments?

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
