Wikia search launches
Wikia Search launched today. Nice simple interface; but, as the site says, “the results are pretty bad”. But the concept is that trusted user feedback from a community of users acting together in an open, transparent, public way will improve results. This seems to be based on providing user feedback and creating mini articles that provide short definitions, disambiguations, photos and ‘see also’s.
Users get to see the Nutch relevancy score by clicking on the numerical score by each result.
