I'm surprised they aren't keeping *any* logs or so they claim. Seems foolish to me from a data-mining prospective.
"A Wikia employee told me today that people were already asking what the most popular search terms were. He said there was no way of finding out as no logs are kept." [1] [1] http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2008/01/why_wikia_will_change_search.html

Star ratings are being stored but not accounted for in the score as of yet. The plan is to include them in future indexing scores. :)

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! :)

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
