A [[worldnet]] node which maintains an index of other nodes on a specific topic. Depending on the world, keynode status is either assigned by the [[planetary government]] or bought from the network.

Each keynode has a number of keywords for which they are responsible. Most search agents will forward any search including a keyword to the keynode's own search engine.

For example, any search on [[Whence]]'s [[worldnet]] which includes the word "golf" will be redirected to the search engine maintained by the [[Whence Island Tournament Golfing Board]].

Also coming into slang use as the 'official' node for a company or product.
