I ran YaCy for a while, but not as a node on their distributed search index. I just ran it as a search engine for all my own bookmarks. Unfortunately I never found a particularly good way of getting bookmarks into the system. So eventually I shut it down. Cool idea in theory though.

I have plan that I haven’t implemented yet, but I want to route all my outbound internet traffic through a Squid reverse proxy, which will in turn add every visited URL to YaCy (except for domains I choose to exempt).

That way I’ll have a fully searchable index of every website I ever visit, which will hopefully solve the “Oh shit, what was that one website I found about X two months ago?”

A potentially easier thing to do would be create a bookmarklet that adds the current page to YaCy.

Yeah. Bookmark indexing was my original goal. But yacy doesn't have a great interface for that. Doable with some work, but not something i wanted to sink too much time into.
