forwarding

Purpose

Forwarding redirects to a selected result or target URL.

Use it as a controlled handoff from YaCy to an external document.

What You Can Do Here

• Forwarding redirects to a selected result or target URL.
• 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.

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): /goto_p.html.

Automation And API

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

Endpoint	Method	Access	Backend
/goto_p.html	GET or POST	admin	source/net/yacy/htroot/goto_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
hash	YaCy hash identifier for a peer, URL, row, or stored object. Use exact values copied from YaCy output.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
path	URL path, URL prefix, or host/path scope. In index tools it decides which part of the stored URL tree is inspected or changed.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.

Example request shape:

GET or POST /goto_p.html?hash=...&path=...

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.
