Since Steem is decentralized we should also have a proper decentralized Steem search instead of using Google or other centralized systems.

Come on now. A blockchain based network, but we're going to use Google to search it!? LOL

thekyle@thekyle is doing a great job at providing us with an alternative by running Asksteem.

https://www.asksteem.com/ Is already providing a good alternative to the google search provided by The Steemit website.

I would like to introduce Yacy !

Yacy is a great Distributed Search engine. You can host a node that only indexes Steem in collaboration with anyone else who wants to index Steem and share results. Yacy runs on Desktops, laptops and servers. Linux, Windows and Mac.

http://yacy.net/en/index.html

Try running your own search node. Search anonymously and for free and contribute to the global index.

I have a basic demo that indexed some of Steem and Reddit on my Desktop here.

(this demo won't be up much longer, Maybe another month or 2.)

I will be moving it to a proper server soon and begin indexing only distributed networks.

Distribution 4 freedom! :)
