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 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.
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.
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! :)
Also there are cute piglets there.
