Wikia Search - Alpha release
Posted byJan 9
Last January 7, 2008 was the alpha release of Wikia Search, a new search engine built on free software and free culture values conceptualized by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales.

Wikia’s search engine concept is that of trusted user feedback from a community of users acting together in an open, transparent, public way. Wikia Search is a response to concerns over the lack of transparency in the way that Google ranks its searches. The release is a milestone in the realization of a long-held dream according to Wikia co-founder Jimmy Wales. However, Wikia Search, being currently in alpha release, is still a couple of years from maturity, with many of the details still to work out.

Oh by the way, here is my Wikia Search Profile, you may add me as a friend. Thanks!
