Remote Crawl Configuration

Purpose

Remote Crawl Configuration controls whether other peers may ask this peer to crawl.

Use it to decide how much cooperative crawling is acceptable for this installation.

What You Can Do Here

• Remote Crawl Configuration controls whether other peers may ask this peer to crawl.
• Choose query, target, content type, or integration options according to the user intent.
• Keep ordinary read-only viewing separate from authenticated actions that alter stored data.

Page Architecture

Public search pages turn request parameters into result lists, previews, snippets, feeds, or integration fragments. They are mostly read-oriented, but some result actions can bookmark, recommend, blacklist, or delete references when authenticated.

Control	Meaning	Values or examples
crawlResponse	Accept Remote Crawl Requests.	Accept Remote Crawl Requests
acceptCrawlLimit	Load with a maximum of.	Text value; use the page label and surrounding context to choose the exact content.
save	Saves settings.	Save

Correct Use

Start from the user's information need. Use query text, content type, collection, URL filters, and pagination to narrow results. Do not mix ordinary search with authenticated result actions unless the user explicitly asks to modify stored data.

Access And Safety

Administrator access is required. YaCy protects _p pages as administration pages.

Protected related endpoint(s): /RemoteCrawl_p.html.

Automation And API

Page backend: source/net/yacy/htroot/RemoteCrawl_p.java.

Endpoint	Method	Access	Backend
/RemoteCrawl_p.html	POST	admin	source/net/yacy/htroot/RemoteCrawl_p.java

Parameter Guide

The table explains values that an agent or script must set deliberately. Parameters not relevant to a task should be omitted or left at the page default.

Parameter	Meaning and valid values	Care
crawlResponse	Accept Remote Crawl Requests.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
acceptCrawlLimit	Load with a maximum of.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
save	Saves settings.	Changes stored data, configuration, or a running job. Use the authenticated action flow where required and verify the result.
search	Alternative search text parameter accepted by some search endpoints; prefer query on browser search pages unless reproducing an existing URL.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.

Example request shape:

POST /RemoteCrawl_p.html
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

crawlResponse=...&acceptCrawlLimit=...&save=...&search=...

What To Expect

Expect rendered search or content output: result lists, snippets, previews, redirects, widgets, or fragments. If output is empty, check whether the index contains matching documents before changing query syntax.
