<strong>YaCy</strong> peers store index fragments according to a ‘folded‘ ordering on word-hashes and url-hashes in a<br />

distributed hash table (DHT). The index is distributed redundantly to save the index when some peers are<br />

not available. The redundancy also helps to increase search performance.<br />
