The project is solid technically, but, IMHO, lacks performance compared to mainstream search engines, and suffers from very poor UX/design (too many knobs).<p>A few years ago, I did setup a node at home to help the network but gave up a few months later, the computations/network crawls being too intensive.
Maybe someone with some technical background on this project can answer... what is to keep someone from poisoning the results?<p>For example, intentionally returning a result for a search term that is not accurate or even spamming results by returning irrelevant pages.
