Comments on: Wikia Search Launches – Not Quite Google http://www.gosquared.com/liquidicity/archives/278 The blog on design and technology by GoSquared Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:03:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: G http://www.gosquared.com/liquidicity/archives/278/comment-page-1#comment-12634 G Mon, 07 Jan 2008 20:53:55 +0000 http://www.gosquared.com/liquidicity/archives/278#comment-12634 Yeah, the design didn't blow me away either - it doesn't look like much thought has gone into a consistent colour scheme, or the information architecture of the site design. The design generally is quite disjointed, especially when you follow a link to a Wikipedia style page. I agree Valzilla, or perhaps it would have made more sense if they built a search engine that simply focused on searching wikis. Also, Google didn't become *the* search engine by making you sign up before being able to change your personal search settings.

It just looks to me like all of those "fake" websites out there - simplified graphics, not much unity, large text... eh. Google will not be effected.
