Search engines rely on their algorithms, or complex formulas, to determine what listings to return for a searcher's query. Wales' answer to a better search experience is to combine a computer algorithm with editors who monitor what results should be returned for any given search. But can a viable search engine rely on the altruistic motives of its volunteer keepers? As we discussed here, the anonymity of contributors...
