Goodbye Wikia Search.

front-logo

Wikia has announced that it is closing Wikia Search. The service was intended to be a user-generated search engine, through which users could influence the rankings of results for all other users.

Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikia and driving force behind Wikia Search, fully expected the development of Wikia Search to be a “long-term project.” The current economy, however, has forced him to “reassess everything,” and “do what we need to do to get to profitability.”
