Just to be realllllly clear in case my humor was too much... I took 
Jason to be sarcastic, and I was just going along with the joke good 
naturedly.  For the record, Wikia search will not be google quality in 
90 days or 100 days... or probably a year or three.

This is a big project, and a long slog.

Wikia Search on day 1 will be like Wikipedia on day 1... it will be 
*free* in the sense of GNU, but it will be basically just a starting 
point for further work and a vision that I hope can unite people and 
organizations of various kinds.
