[Search wiki] Scale of Search wiki

[Rainer Blome]

[Second try, I used the wrong sender address with the first one.]

Hi.  Missing a "free" search engine, I was delighted to read of Wikia Search.
And it looks like a good beginning.

Has anyone got any idea how far the concept of creating one mini article per search query can be taken?  Is it possible to keep up indefinitely?

It appears to me that the number of different queries can quickly reach millions, and billions in the long run.  
Mini articles will not be written for every query. 
What is the ratio between number of new queries and number of mini articles writen?

Looking for this topic, I found only this:

This may have been discussed elsewhere.  If so, please provide a pointer.
