Advanced Settings

Purpose

Advanced Settings gathers technical peer settings that do not fit the first-run setup pages.

Use it for expert configuration after understanding the operational effect of each option.

What You Can Do Here

  • Advanced Settings gathers technical peer settings that do not fit the first-run setup pages.
  • Read the current value before changing it.
  • Verify the effect on the public page, status page, or related administration page.

Page Architecture

Configuration pages usually contain persistent settings. A visible form writes values into YaCy configuration, while the backend may reload subsystems such as language files, network listeners, cache handling, or search presentation.

Correct Use

Read the current value before changing it. Configuration changes often persist beyond the current request and may affect later crawling, search, network contact, authentication, or resource use. Change one operational idea at a time and verify the result.

Access And Safety

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

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

Backend checks: transaction token issued for forms.

Automation And API

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

Endpoint Method Access Backend
/Settings_p.html GET or POST admin source/net/yacy/htroot/Settings_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

Example request shape:

GET or POST /Settings_p.html?page=...

What To Expect

A successful change is visible as a saved value, a confirmation, or changed behavior on a related page. Some settings take effect immediately; others require reconnecting, reloading translations, restarting services, or watching the status page.

  • Related configuration work is usually reached from ConfigBasic.html, Settings_p.html, or the adjacent configuration page in the administration menu.
