P-2-P (peer-to-peer) search engine which believes that searching really ought to be decentralized

Faroo is the p-2-p (peer-to-peer) search engine which believes that searching really ought to be decentralized. Internet architecture itself is decentralized, I personally like to think the WWW stands for Wild, Wild, West. Faroo scours the frontier based on what you, the searcher, thinks is relevant, with out any central institution gun slingin.’ Nothing stands in the way of the information you want and the searcher, because all pages are ranking based on user ranking. In the same manner, those who provide the content are to be sure their content will be found, since all Faroo search results are current, comprehensive and efficient.


“The collection of the whole, exponentially growing Web on a single central system is not successful on the long run. Despite constantly increasing investments in hardware the completeness and freshness of the search index will steadily decrease.
With the concept of a distributed peer-to-peer search engine the same users, who provide the content of the internet assure also, that it is findable too. Thus the search results may be provided more up-to-date, more comprehensive and more cost-efficient.
The searcher becomes a part of FAROO. The architecture is decentralized like the Internet itself. There stands no more central institution between the information source and the searcher.
With the tremendous growth of information the relevance of search results becomes more important. This is assured by an fully automatic ranking of web page content by the users of the peer-to-peer search engine.”
