Wikia search , a search engine from Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia goes online today at California midnight time. According to his message posted on website, wikia.com, Search is part of the fundamental infrastructure of the Internet. And we are making it open source.
Wikia is not a complete full fledged search engine. But it will use wikipedia model using communities to build an efficient one. The time period is expected to be around 2 years for wikia to become an efficient search engine by web standards or a rival to google. The web index and search technology are opensource and any one can use this to build their search application, is a major highlight of this project.
