Wikipedia founder plans for Search Engine
December 27th, 2006 by gaurav | Filed under , , .Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales is planning with Amazon to launch a search engine, relying on human judgement rather than algorithms. Wikiasari, search engine is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2007, backed by multimillion-dollar funding from Amazon.com
Wikiasari search result will be focused on quality first, depth second and will include tag based navigation, the top three results will be Wikipedia content and the remaining results will be determined by sites Wikipedia considers to be “reputable†as they are external reference links from Wikipedia pages.
I would definitely would like to use something like this as lot of times these days while searching on Google, along with the keyword I add the word ‘wiki’ so that the first result produced is from the wikipedia.org website. Some of my latest searches were “Charlie Rose wiki”; “boxing day wiki”. I wish Jimmy Wales Good Luck for his latest venture which is expected to take Google head on.
