<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>
<p>On December 23, 2006, Wales made a passing comment regarding the possibility of a wiki-based internet search.<sup id="cite_ref-TimesDec23_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TimesDec23-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The result was extensive media coverage in multiple languages, in outlets like <i><a href="The_Guardian" title="The Guardian">The Guardian</a></i>, the <i><a href="Sydney_Morning_Herald" class="mw-redirect" title="Sydney Morning Herald">Sydney Morning Herald</a></i>, and online editions of <i><a href="Forbes" title="Forbes">Forbes</a></i> and <i><a href="Business_Week" class="mw-redirect" title="Business Week">Business Week</a></i> publishing the statement as an announcement, encouraging the company to re-brand and relaunch its previous search engine proposal under the temporary name of "Search Wikia".<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In a later interview, Wales attempted to clarify several issues. He said that funding received from <a href="Amazon.com" class="mw-redirect" title="Amazon.com">Amazon.com</a> was not specific to the search project and also restated that Wikia and Wikipedia have separate management, even though they shared three key stakeholders. When asked whether the project was "formally announced", he said it was partly planned and partly a response to news coverage.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>On January 31, 2007, at a talk given at <a href="New_York_University" title="New York University">New York University</a>, Wales announced that Wikia plans to build a search engine rivaling those of <a href="Google" title="Google">Google</a> and <a href="Yahoo" title="Yahoo">Yahoo</a> based on the kind of collaborative cooperation which has been so successful in developing Wikipedia, arguing that "search should be open, transparent, participatory, and democratic."<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He later suggested this new approach could account for five percent of the search market.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On March 10, 2007, <a href="Gil_Penchina" title="Gil Penchina">Gil Penchina</a>, chief executive officer of Wikia, stated in an interview that the goal for the project is to get five percent of the search market and that a release date for services was not scheduled. "We're really trying to build a movement to make search free and open and transparent," Penchina said. "We have some servers up and people are hacking away." The free and open-source approach of utilizing programmers and users around the world is different from that used by major search providers such as Google and Yahoo, who keep most of their code secret, and could provide a search engine that lets users edit and fine tune its results.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>On December 24, 2007, Wales announced that Wikia Search had entered "private pre-alpha".<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>On June 3, 2008, an upgraded version of Wikia Search was released with additional features such as improved screen display and facilities for users to rate, edit and enhance the search results. In particular, it offered users the possibility of adding pertinent <a href="URL" title="URL">URLs</a> to the results displayed and deleting any misleading results with immediate effect.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The improvements were widely welcomed by a number of former critics.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In August 2008 Wikia Search launched an official version of the Wikia toolbar that can be downloaded and added on to the <a href="Firefox_browser" class="mw-redirect" title="Firefox browser">Firefox browser</a>. In October 2008, WISE – Wikia Intelligent Search Extensions<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> was released.
</p><p>By August 2008, Wikia Search held a 0.000079% share of the search market in the U.S., compared with <a href="Google" title="Google">Google</a>'s 70.77%.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While Google was conducting experiments with page ranking based on user feedback around this time, Jimmy Wales stated that Google's random tests and its <a href="Proprietary_software" title="Proprietary software">closed algorithm</a> were different from the open, community-oriented <a href="Crowdsourcing" title="Crowdsourcing">crowdsourcing</a> attempts of Wikia Search.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In March 2009, the project ended: "... Wikia Search was not making its numbers. With only 10,000 unique users a month over the past six months, Wales said, it was hard to justify the resources being put into it."<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>As of April 16, 2009, the site was running, but with "So long and thanks for all the fish! Have a specific question? Try <a href="WikiAnswers" class="mw-redirect" title="WikiAnswers">wikianswers</a>!" near the bottom of the page. Finally on May 14, 2009, the search engine service was brought to a halt. Queries to the Wikia Search website were redirected, with a message in part stating "The Wikia Search project has ended."
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Search_engine">Search engine</h2></div>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Features">Features</h3></div>
<p>The search engine's result pages provided access to three major components:
</p>
<ul><li>a <a href="Web_search_engine" class="mw-redirect" title="Web search engine">web search engine</a>,</li>
<li>a <a href="Social_network_service" class="mw-redirect" title="Social network service">social network service</a> and</li>
<li>a <a href="Wiki" title="Wiki">wiki</a>, which hosts so-called mini-articles</li></ul>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Mini-articles">Mini-articles</h4></div>
<p>A prominent feature of the search engine were the human-written mini articles.
Mini articles were short articles about the topics given by their title.
They were hosted by a Wikia wiki.
</p><p>Whenever a search query is issued with <i>mini</i> in front, the results page looked in the wiki for a mini article with a name that matched the search query. If no matching article existed, the search user was given the opportunity to write a new one.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Social_network">Social network</h4></div>
<p>The user interface was tied in with a social network application, called "foowi".<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Users could create an account for the application and fill in a profile. The system linked the wiki login to the social network login.
Profile functions include <i>Status</i>, <i>Basic profile</i>, <i>White board</i>, <i>Albums</i>, <i>Friends</i>, <i>Personal</i> and <i>Work</i>.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Web_search_engine">Web search engine</h4></div>
<p>The web search engine consisted of the following components:
</p>
<ul><li><a href="Web_crawler" title="Web crawler">Crawler(s)</a> (<a href="Grub_(search_engine)" title="Grub (search engine)">Grub</a>),</li>
<li><a href="Index_(search_engine)" class="mw-redirect" title="Index (search engine)">Indices</a>, the search engine proper (three selectable indices, by default an index that uses <a href="Nutch" class="mw-redirect" title="Nutch">Nutch</a>)</li>
<li>and browser based results presentation (written in <a href="JavaScript_language" class="mw-redirect" title="JavaScript language">JavaScript language</a>)</li></ul>
<p>The results presentation used XML-formatted requests to query the index. The XML format is called "Open Index<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and can be used to query indices other than the one at <a href="Internet_Systems_Consortium" title="Internet Systems Consortium">Internet Systems Consortium (ISC)</a>.
The results presentation once included an option to select a different index to be used (out of three).
</p><p>In early 2009, <a href="Yahoo!_Search_BOSS" class="mw-redirect" title="Yahoo! Search BOSS">Yahoo! BOSS</a> was being used as the back-end.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Organization">Organization</h3></div>
<p>The servers that implemented the web search engine's default index<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> were owned and operated by the <a href="Internet_Systems_Consortium" title="Internet Systems Consortium">ISC</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-BusinessWire20080107_22-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BusinessWire20080107-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
Although the index servers were donated to ISC, the index server's domain name still remains that of the Wikia Search software labs,<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-searchA3Js_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-searchA3Js-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The search engine's main page<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and result pages<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> themselves were served by Wikia (note that the result pages' content was retrieved from the index server at <code>swlabs.org</code>, not from <code>wikia.com</code>).
</p><p>The social network, like the results presentation, was hosted by Wikia.
</p><p>Search Wikia,<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the wiki which hosted the mini articles, is hosted by <a href="Wikia" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikia">Wikia</a>.

Although formally owned by Wikia, Wikia's management have stated that they want the wiki's user community to govern the wiki,<sup id="cite_ref-searchwikilist101_29-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-searchwikilist101-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> as is custom with Wikia wikis in general.
