Wikipedia founder to launch search engine


Quote:
SAN MATEO, CA, United States (UPI) -- The U.S. founder of the Web encyclopedia Wikipedia says his planned Internet search engine, Wikiasari, could rival Google and Yahoo!.

Jimmy Wales told The Times of London his search engine, planned to launch with Amazon.com, will use the same user-based technology as Wikipedia. The commercial version of the search engine will be developed through San Mateo, Calif.-based Wikia Inc., with a provisional launch planned for the first quarter of 2007, he said.

Wikiasari gets its name from 'wiki,' Hawaiian for 'quick,' and 'asari,' Japanese for 'rummaging search.'

Earlier this year Wales said he secured multimillion-dollar funding from Amazon.com and a separate cash infusion from a group of Silicon Valley financiers to finance Wikia projects.

Wikipedia, online since 2003, is written by thousands of contributors worldwide using free, open-source software. Wales said he wants to use the same network concept and free software to create his search engine.

RE: Wikipedia founder to launch search engine


copyright 2006?? dont you think this is a little old.. but speaking of search engines
here in egypt we got one called onkosh.com which is a very funny Arabic word. we have a way of typing we like to say franko arab, its like: "de tare2a 2a2dar beeha akteb 3araby bel engliezy" that means this is a way with it i can write Arabic words using English letters.. this search engine accepts this kind of language and transfers it automatically into other languages to search with it D:
