First it was Cuil,who challenged the power of Google Search Engine.Now, through Wiki Search, Jimmy Wales, its founder, hopes to breakthrough the search engine market which for long has been dominated by Google, followed by Yahoo and Microsoft.

Wales says that the current search engines functions in a way that a net user is left in the dark regarding how their sites are being ranked.To overcome this ,the vision he has is to deliver an open platform search engine through Wiki Search.This principle is based on Wikipedia,an online popular encyclopedia,also founded by Jimmy Wales,in which users can post and edit entries.

At the Global Brand Forum in Singapore,he said that based on statistics in the US,90% of people use the the top 3 search engines for their search queries.This according to Wales is insufficient as the web is so wide in range that we require a broader market of competitors.
We need to wait and see if Wiki Search will turn out to be the optimal search engine of the internet.
