DTemp writes "According to Reuters, Jimmy Wales (Wikipedia founder) plans a community-based search engine called Wikia, and is optimistic about its chances of competing with Google and Yahoo. The backbone of the new search initiative is Grub, which apparently he just acquired. The community part, according to the article, seems to be regarding untangling ambiguous search queries. This generally seems a less rewarding task than writing/editing an encyclopedic article for Wikipedia, so we'll see if the community actually materializes."
