  Inspired by the vision of the talks, "Search Engines History and Future" (FOSSASIA Singapore 2016 video) and "Search Engines of the Future" (QtCon Berlin 2016) this project aims to bring that vision of a "future search engine" to life. The prediction of both talks had been: "Future search engines will answer to all questions!"

  YaCy Expert is a search portal that leverages Large Language Models (LLM) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to create a comprehensive, responsive, and cutting-edge search engine. It aims to fulfill the vision of "future search engines" that answer all questions, specifically by using data from the decentralized YaCy network.

  ## YaCy Expert vs. YaCy Core
  
  While YaCy provides the foundational decentralized peer-to-peer search engine for crawling and indexing web content, YaCy Expert specifically focuses on building a modern question-answering system on top of this data. It uses YaCy's acquired text corpora (e.g., WARC or ZIM files) as context for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with Large Language Models (LLMs), transforming raw search data into intelligent answers.
