Wikia Search – interactive search engine improved
The start of 2008 saw the Alpha-version start of the free search engine Wikia Search (see our report). Subsequently this service has been steadily developed, and as of the start of June 2008, it is substantially more user-friendly.
In the launch version of the social search machine, users were able to rate the results, create mini-articles on the search results, or according to their technical abilities, even view the source code, and were free to help with its further development. User involvement was somewhat restrictive, leading to considerable criticism in the media, also as a result of limited search results.
The new Beta-version is now more inviting, especially for the purposes of development and expansion – users can, for example, add new links by mouse click, relevant to the search results, comment on these or edit their description and labeling. The discovered websites also are now able to be rated, thereby influencing their position in the search results. To this purpose, not even a new registration is required – changes are immediately reflected. In order to discourage abuse of the system, all recent changes and their authors are listed to the right of the results list, in a new area “Recent Changes”, and are thus subject to reediting or correction. This underlines the Wikia-Search organization’s Wikia Inc., emphasis on the quality and reliability of the information submitted by users in this collaborative project.
