Would running YaCy with more resources get a search engine comparable to Google (lemm.ee)

For those unaware, YaCy is an open source indexing software with some p2p search capabilities. However, if you've run it yourself, you'd know that the search results are very bad. Therefore I am wondering if this is a resources issue or a YaCy software issue, or both.

Had YaCy had really huge resources for the crawling and indexing, would it have been a good enough search engine to replace google/ddg?

That's sad... The YaCy grid seems to have no commits for at least 2 years. Yeah, that's disappointing...
