Yioop software provides many of the same features of larger search portals:
Search Results. Yioop comes with a crawler that can be used to crawl the open web or a selection of URLs of your choice. It can index popular archive formats like Wikipedia XML-dumps, arc, warc, Open Directory Project-RDF (now Curlie.org), as well as dumps of emails or databases. Once you have created Yioop indexes of your desired data sources, Yioop can serve as a search engine for your data. It supports "crawl mixes" of different data sources. It supports knowledge wiki callouts related to search results which can be based on Wikipedia or other sources. Yioop also provides tools to classify and sculpt your data before being used in search results.
Media Services. News is best when it is still fresh. Yioop has a media updater process that can be used to re-index RSS and Atom feeds on an hourly basis. This more timely information can then be incorporated into Yioop search results. Yioop's media updater also can be used to recode to mp4 uploaded videos, handle bulk email, and calculate view statistics. Yioop's trending tools can be track how words and values onn news and other pages change over time.
Social Groups, Blogs, and Wikis. Yioop can be configured to allow users to create discussion groups, blogs, and wikis. Blogs and discussion group can be made public or private and posts can be made to expire if desired. Yioop supports an easy to learn ChatBot api to make group feed chat bots.
