title: Howto configure P2P search engine YaCy for LAN and WWW
body: <p>YaCy is a free distributed search engine, built on principles of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YaCy" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="wikipedia YaCy">"wikipedia YaCy"</a>.</p>
  
  <p>After installation, you can use it to search the WWW, but not your own computer. </p>
  
  <p>However, I have found a guide that shows how to configure it for the LAN (<a href="https://translate.google.de/translate?sl=de&amp;tl=en&amp;js=y&amp;prev=_t&amp;hl=de&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yacy-websuche.de%2Fwiki%2Findex.php%2FDe%3AFirmenLAN%23eine_YaCy-Maschine_im_LAN" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="how to set up YaCy on LAN without public YaCy network">"set up YaCy on LAN without public network"</a>).</p>
  
  <p>So I hope it might be configurable so it can be used for both.</p>
  
  <p>Maybe you have a idear?
  I would like to use it in Linux Lubuntu.</p>
