"Wikia founder has officially announced the private beta version of the long-awaited search, just before Christmas.  Affirmed by an email sent out by Jimmy Wales, Wikia is looking for test users to go through the system and find some bugs.  The public launch is scheduled for January 7th, so we'll see if this is actually going to be a Google killer.  \nHaving acquired web crawler Grub from LookSmart earlier this year, Wikia has been working on this newly implemented search tool for some time.  Guessing that Wikia will be leveraging its widely influential Wikipedia tool along with Wikia, the move for social search is ramping up.  Google has been dipping its toe into the waters of social search as well, so its clear that Wikia needs to move into the social search direction.\n[via CenterNetworks]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
