Wikia Search — the open source search engine Wikia initially launched in January — got a fresh start Tuesday. The refurbished version lets users edit, comment on and influence search results. After performing a search query on any major search engine, a user typically gets a static results page — the information it contains is determined largely by an algorithm. Wikia Search claims to add a human element to the process by allowing the customization of search results. Users can delete or hide results, rank items and add new results.
