Yacy search results/ranking are worse than useless



Because too few people are participating.


I run a senior peer.

The issue is the metadata ranking is garbage, the documentation extremely lacking, and the support is nonexistent. The software is confusingly laid out, with various options strewn all over the place and absolutely no clue given as to what they do.

If you want a peer driven search engine, perhaps the quick start guide shouldn’t involve having to read the source code.
