Wikia search open to public.

Wikia Search which is the output of Wikipedia by Jimmy Wales, will begin to let everyone build their own index by adding, deleting and rating Web Pages.

During its "alpha" period, which started in January, Wikia Search had drawn about 20,000 registered users who have in turn made about 60,000 edits to search results and written about 25,000 mini articles.

The owner however believed that, starting on Tuesday, anyone, registered or not, will be able to influence what the index contains, as well as rate the quality of its Web pages. In addition, people will be able to edit the content of a search result URL by modifying its headline and description. Moreover, people will be able to capture a portion of an indexed Web page, such as some text, and add it directly back to the Wikia Search index, a feature Wales calls "annotation."

This will be quite interesting to note.
