Wikia Search Launch

For those of you who didn't know, Wikipedia launched its own search engine, Wikia Search, in January of this year to very mixed reviews.

The site, similar to Wikipedia in that it relies on user generated content didn't launch with the expected celebration everyone expected; as for the most part it has arrived largerly un-noticed.

Its founder Jimmy Wales has however been quick to come to the company's defence as because it relies on content from its users he believes 'like a fine wine, it will get better as time goes by and more and more people contribute'.

I guess we shall just have to wait and see whether this is the case or not.
