Since #YouTube killed their chronological #SearchResults, i'm now more motivated then ever, to finally set up my own #YaCy crawler instance.

Any YaCy veterans, reading this?

👉 Is YaCy a viable means to re-claim chrono-sort?
👉 How does YaCy handle YouTube?

Edit: bonus question - is #Invidious still broken?

@platymew there is a "/date" operator in #yacy search (sort by date).

the weakness was a date detection in crawler, fixed for many websites recently:
https://github.com/yacy/yacy_search_server/pull/730
but not sure, whether it correctly detects youtube dates. solution may involve #java source code change.

i got several thousands of youtube videos in my index, so i suppose, the indexing itself works well.

@klokanek Thank you!

Does #YaCy present the YouTube videos in your index with their thumbnail image?

@platymew you're welcome.

no idea, i don't use thumbnails personally.
