Yeah, I've got a YaCy node on my home server...the results are atrocious though. I had it set as the default search on my phone for a while, but ended up switching to DuckDuckGo.
Probably half the problem is my own fault due to poor configuration or something, but the admin pages kinda suck so far. There are a number of options where I simply can't find any explanation at all of what they actually do, so when I'm configuring the damn thing I don't entirely know what I'm configuring. RAM utilization on that box is always pegged at 100% too, so maybe I need to throw more hardware at it. But I'm betting my main issue is the crawler setup, since I can't seem to get one to index anything beyond a single domain...so they end up just crawling a few pages and then shutting themselves down. :(
