Wikia Search Launched

Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has launched a new search engine based on trusted feedback from a community of users. Wales believes that the new search engine adheres to the Four Organising Principles on which the future of internet search must be based. These are:

1. Transparency
2. Community
3. Quality
4. Privacy

In my opinion, Wikia is not up to the standard I expect of them yet. They need more effort and time to get out of Alpha before they can compete with Google and the rest.
