I would like to direct the reader to Yacy. It's a free-software, self-hosted search-engine. Users have the option to peer with other users, creating a larger decentralised search engine.

Build it. Use it. Promote it. Finance it. Bupf it, for short. Build the future you want or piss and moan endlessly.

    Neat. Reminds me of bitmagnet, which crawls BitTorrent's DHT to built a searchable index of torrents. It lacks a peer option though.

    I ran it for an hour and calculated that it would use over 1TB/month of bandwidth, which is too much for my data cap :(
