Default Wikipedia founder launches search engine

Quote:
An internet search engine that draws on human recommendations is due to make its first public appearance on Monday, although even its founder warns that it will take some time to tell if the experiment can yield useful results. Created by Jimmy Wales, the man behind online encyclopedia Wikipedia, the search service will let users rate the relevance of results on a five-star system, then apply that information to shape future search results shown to others.
It will also draw on ideas from online social networking to try to establish reputations for its users and decide whose ratings should carry the most weight.
Search Wikia - search - a Wikia wiki

Interesting stuff, i;ve always thought that some human interaction into web searching can result in better, more accurate and relative results

Is this Wikipedia's response to the announcement by Google that it is going to create its own encyclopedia?

Google kicks Wikipedia in the googlies | The Register

Also, will Wikipedia's suggested system not make it possible for people to rate their own sites as highly relevant, even if they're not, and hence skew the results?

Yes had a look at it today - it will need to be so much better to catch on. I tried a few terms and a lot of the results were not in english - not much use to me. But that is two in the last week, I came across another one that searches all search engine - again me thinks not.
