mashable.com — Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales is set to launch a search engine early next year in partnership with Amazon - it’s intended to be a rival to Google and Yahoo. The Wikiasari project may launch as early as Q1 of 2007, using the same user-generated system as Wikipedia. It will be a for-profit project launched by Jimmy’s company Wikia. “Wiki” as Wales ha

buried: Good story, completely inaccurate. Even the page it's doing an article agrees. <a class="user" href="http://search.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page">http://search.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page</a>

You do realize that there are several competitors to Google in the search market. Type in "search engine" into Google ;)

this would appear to be inaccurate. going head to head with Google would be a waste of time and money. look at microsoft, the best they can do is try and keep up with Google by copying everything they do.

Rumor has it that the Wikiasari engine comes from a start-up called searchme.com, formerly Kavam, funded by Sequoia Capital, the same guys who backed Google and Yahoo - there is big time money behind it.

Indians may find the name confusing. Sari is a key piece of clothing for Indian women.
