Abstract: A peer-to-peer, commonly abbreviated to P2P, is any distributed network architecture composed of participants that make a portion of their resources (such as processing power, disk storage or network bandwidth) directly available to other network participants, without the need for central coordination instances (such as servers or stable hosts). Peers are both suppliers and consumers of resources, in contrast to the traditional client-server model where only servers supply, and clients consume. In a P2P network which employs the use of a purely decentralized design, and where everyone participates equally in the network as both a client and a server. Machines were assumed to be always switched on, always connected and assigned permanent IP. In this paper, we propose the Modified Search algorithm to improve the search efficiency of unstructured P2P networks by giving higher querying priority to peers with high querying reply capabilities which is based on bandwidth, locality, reliability and quantity of available data. We categorized all peers based on their performance in the network. Our experiment shows that the Modified Search algorithm can improve the search efficiency without resorting to index operations. Our simulation shows that the Modified Search algorithm increases the efficiency of network from 20 to 89.28 percent.
