PeARS, the people's search engine

Welcome to the organisation for the PeARS project! Here, you can find out more about the different flavours of PeARS we are working on.

  • PeARS Federated is a decentralised PeARS. It allows admins to create mini search engines on topics of their choice, and invite contributors to crowdsource the content of the index. Search can happen on any of the managed PeARS instances. The alpha version of PeARS Federated is very close to being released, so keep an eye on it!

  • PeARS Orchard is the original version of PeARS, which aims at building a fully distributed search engine. It is still under heavy development.

  • PeARS OMD is a cooperation with the private cloud provider On My Disk, adding search capability to the original solution. The first phase of the project has now ended and we are in beta-testing. A new phase (2024-2025) is now starting to include website hosting to the solution: your website, on your own machine, no need for a cloud service.
