A new service called Wikiseek has been launched by search engine company SearchME that could give Yahoo or Google a run for their money. Built with Wikipedia’s permission, Wikiseek indexes and searches the contents of referenced sites within Wikipedia.  Because Wikiseek only indexes Wikipedia and sites that Wikipedia links to, the results are less subject to the spam and SEO schemes that can clutter up Google and Yahoo search listings.
According to the Wikiseek pages, the search engine “utilizes Searchme’s category refinement technology, providing suggested search refinements based on user tagging and categorization within Wikipedia, making results more relevant than conventional search engines.”
Along with search results Wikiseek displays a tag cloud which allows you to narrow or broaden your search results based on topically related information.
