YACY it

Adds the current webpage to the local YACY index. This assumes you are running YaCy in localhost:8090.

Getting the Extension

The extension is available from the Firfox Addons site.

Configuring YaCy

The extension requires CORS headers to be set in order for it to display the messages correctly. This can be set by editing yacy/defaults/web.xml. Add the following snippet after the <description> block and restart YaCy.

  <filter>
   <filter-name>cross-origin</filter-name>
   <filter-class>org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CrossOriginFilter</filter-class>
   <init-param>
       <param-name>allowedOrigins</param-name>
       <param-value>*</param-value>
   </init-param>
   <init-param>
       <param-name>allowedMethods</param-name>
       <param-value>*</param-value>
   </init-param>
   <init-param>
       <param-name>allowedHeaders</param-name>
       <param-value>*</param-value>
   </init-param>
 </filter>
 <filter-mapping>
     <filter-name>cross-origin</filter-name>
     <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
 </filter-mapping>

NOTE: The extension also works without this configuration, but the right message will not be displayed after you click the button.
