Could be a good move - after all Google itself will rank Wiki in the top 5 for any page it puts up - regardless of content. So even Google admits the results are outstanding.

Excellent move if you ask me.

Interesting, only listing sites linked to already from Wikipedia. Could this be the search engine of the future - authority site or be damned!

I like the results for my terms better than Google's current results (I guess that's just because my results are high as links to the on topic Wiki articles aren't appearing at #1). Seems to be a little shaky on some searches (non specific searches for example).

Suppose it will encourage more people to mess around with the links on wikipedia though but it is refreshing to see search results without the spam esq clutter that follows other search engine results.
