Wikiseek launches, not to be confused with Wikiasari
But California-based SearchMe has launched a new search engine based on Wikipedia.

When you perform a search, Wikipedia articles will be listed first, followed by results that show up as links in Wikipedia. If it wasn't mentioned on Wikipedia, you won't find it on Wikiseek.
This means there are plenty of sites out there that you're not going to find by using Wikiseek. But odds are if you've got a general query on a movie, pop group, or form of martial arts you'll get relevant search results and not much that you weren't looking for.
The project is sanctioned by Wikipedia, and although there are sponsored links on Wikiseek, the web site says the majority of revenue generated will be donated to the Wikimedia Foundation.
