Wikia purchased the Grub search platform.
Startup Wikia purchased the search platform Grub from LookSmart and published its source code. For Wikia, this is an important acquisition, since at the end of 2007 she plans to launch her search service Search Wikia.
The Search Wikia project is trying to create a search engine based on open search protocols and human input by copying the Wikipedia model, an online encyclopedia compiled and updated by a team of volunteers.
Wikipedia founder and Wikia co-founder Jimmy Wales says that Search Wikia, by using an open platform, will provide users with better search than Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.

However, users should not expect excellent results in the first version of Search Wikia: Wales recalls that Wikipedia was also not immediately built and asks for user support from this December - the start of the system.
