"""YaCy_ is a free distributed search engine, built on the principles of
peer-to-peer (P2P) networks.
 
API: Dev:APIyacysearch_
 
Releases:
 
- https://github.com/yacy/yacy_search_server/tags
- https://download.yacy.net/
 
.. _Yacy: https://yacy.net/
.. _Dev:APIyacysearch: https://wiki.yacy.net/index.php/Dev:APIyacysearch
 
Configuration
=============
 
The engine has the following (additional) settings:
 
- :py:obj:`http_digest_auth_user`
- :py:obj:`http_digest_auth_pass`
- :py:obj:`search_mode`
- :py:obj:`search_type`
 
The :py:obj:`base_url` has to be set in the engine named `yacy` and is used by
all yacy engines.
