## What it is
Susper is a decentralized web search engine front-end that retrieves results from a peer-to-peer YaCy search server with embedded Apache Solr. It is an Angular-based web application that queries the YaCy search API over JSONP.

## Use cases
- run a self-hosted decentralized search engine
- search the web without Google using a P2P index
- build a custom search front-end on top of a YaCy server
- explore privacy-friendly alternatives to centralized search
- integrate Solr JSON search results into an Angular app

## When to choose
- you want a Google-like search UI backed by YaCy/Solr
- you need a decentralized or self-hosted search experience
- you want an Angular reference project for search front-ends

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade search index of your own without running YaCy peers
- you need a modern actively developed Angular codebase (project is legacy)
- you need enterprise search features like ranking tuning or analytics
