Wikia Search Updates; No relation with Amazon

By Vivek | December 24th, 2006 at 09:15 am ET         

A comment left by Jimbo Wales on my blog, and another few minutes of research on the Wikia Search Main_Page indicates that apparently Amazon has nothing to do with the upcoming search engine.

Looking at the edit history of the Search Main_Page it does show that around 7:24 PM EST on 23rd December, Jimbo Wales edited that page to add that the new search engine will have nothing to do with A9, Amazon, etc. The Main_Page also clarifies that the search will be people-powered built on open-source web search engine.  Also the site is being worked on currently until December 27th. Will see how it rolls from there.
