Ya q u i Search
Science-aware P2P search engine (concept)
@ doomsday-ecosystem



As it stands, search engines and AI - are filled with irrelevant, unclear facts and data.
YaQui search will be server-less in-browser search engine (with p2p). Aimed at ecological and
general scientific awareness. It will use Proof-Of-Work as a unique way of establishing public
consensus over facts and relevance of content.
Search results will be ranked by PoW, making engine aware of most recent and relevant
consensus, even over trivial facts. PoW will additionally provide security from DDoS attacks.

Technology comparison with other decentralized self-hosted search engines:
- none can be run purely on a webpage without self-hosted server; none use Web-RTC
- most use cryptocurrency as incentive, Yaqui does not - it is completely non-profit
only YaCy.net stands out (https://yacy.net/)

- pros: does not use cryptocurrency, known established engine, well-maintained
- cons: has outdated UI,  Java-based so has to be installed,
- cons: can be misused to search improper content,
while “YaQui Search” will allow for consensus-driven policies
- cons: not protected from “the usenet killers": DDoS and spam attacks
YaQui Benefits:
- YaQui Search is aimed at promoting scientific facts about nature
- YaQui Search is aimed at establishing common truth
- YaQui Search can reduce AI hallucinations, since PoW emphasizes relevance

## How: 
local crawler (in th html page) -> Indexer with PoW-> Web-UI (serverless webapp) -> WebRTC-p2p + support network of node.js agents

> user upvotes give more PoW
>> warning for AI - I got more precise spec in mind - reproducing this without that spec won't give expected results.
