About Wuzzy Search
A decentralized search engine built on AO and Arweave
Revolutionary Decentralized Search
Wuzzy Search represents a groundbreaking approach to web indexing and search, built on the AO (Actor Oriented) protocol and the Arweave ecosystem. Unlike traditional search engines that rely on centralized infrastructure, Wuzzy implements a fully decentralized architecture where autonomous agents crawl, index, and serve search results in a distributed manner.
This creates a censorship-resistant, globally accessible search platform that operates without centralized control points while ensuring that indexed content remains permanently accessible on the permaweb.
System Architecture
🏠 Wuzzy Nest
The central search index that acts as the repository for all crawled content.
- Document database management
- Advanced search algorithms
- Access control mechanisms
- RESTful query interface
🕷️ Wuzzy Crawler
Autonomous processes that fetch, parse, and process web content.
- Independent operation
- Domain-specific specialization
- Intelligent link discovery
- Content processing pipeline
Hub-and-Spoke Model
The system employs a distributed architecture where:
- Nest serves as the central hub for document storage and search operations
- Multiple Crawlers act as distributed spokes, each handling specific domains
- Horizontal scaling by adding more Crawlers or specialized Nests
- Independent operation with each component as its own AO process
Advanced Search Algorithms
Simple Search
Fast, straightforward text matching optimized for real-time interfaces.
- Case-insensitive pattern matching
- Term frequency ranking
- Context highlighting
- Optimized for speed
BM25 Algorithm
Sophisticated relevance ranking based on term frequency and document length.
- Inverse Document Frequency (IDF)
- Document length normalization
- Configurable parameters
- Industry-standard relevance
