Will it be possible to extend YaCy with search module to collect data about IPFS?

Hi Konrad,
thanks for your idea!

It’s interesting, calls to include Torrent and dark web, had take place recently. Probably the decentralised nature of YaCy is sexy now.

I have no idea about structure od ipfs. Does it ressemble web? Are there urls, hyperlinks and textual content? What steps do you think would be neccessary to include that? How would that work?

YaCy is not module-based, rather monolithic, so it’s not just about adding a module. But the P2P structure and DHT/RWI transfers would be definitely usable for that, IMHO.
