This would be great!
I am particularly interested how they are going about customized
search (if
they have a plan to do it). I mean if they can reorder raw search
results
based on some kind of collective knowledge (which is probably kept
outside
of Lucene index - at least that is what I can see from Nutch score
explanations).
I don't think that there is anything like that yet. It looks to me
like a standard disjunction over title/content/host/url + a global
document boost based on pagerank-y link analysis (or simply #
inlinks). If they are incorporating the "star" ratings yet, it is
probably folded in to the global doc boost.

See my comment (around #45-50) on Techcrunch about that from late
last
night. There is actually one Wikia guy helping Nutch - Dennis
Kubes. He
must have been hitting reload on that TC post, because he IMed me
quickly
after I posted my comment and clarified that he is that Wikia
developer I
was referring to in my comment.... so I'm looking forward to more
contributions from Dennis and his coworkers! :)

Subject: Re: Wikia search goes live today
One other thing to note, you can definitely see Lucene in action (or
Nutch, that is) by clicking on the score returned for a given
document
(try searching for Lucene) and you see, in all it's glory, the Lucene
explain results... It even displays the Nutch logo, which makes me
wonder if they are misusing an ASF trademark (but, IANAL, so I don't
know) since they don't state that Nutch is a trademark of the ASF.
But, that is a discussion for somewhere else...

Hi,
I noticed that Wikia search goes live today (see
http://www.devxnews.com/article.php/3719906).
Does anybody know where I could find more technical information
about their
solution? Are they going to contribute their enhancements back to
Lucene/Nutch/Hadoop code? My understanding is that as long as they
claim
they want to build their solution on top of open source technology
they
should be contributing back.
Not sure what they have done, but nothing in the Apache license
requires contribution back, even if it would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Grant
