[Search-l] advanced search

[Bani]

I think the competitive advantage Wikia is trying to achieve in Wikia
Search is the social aspect of it, so things like face recognition
algorithms and other stuff that requires intensive computation
shouldn't be the priority.
But Wikia could use the fact that it already has a community of people
willing to collaborate to try more "human based computation", such as
the ESP Game (http://www.gwap.com/gwap/gamesPreview/espgame/), later
adopted my Google as an Image Labeler
(http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/).
