Knowledge Engine (search engine)

Knowledge Engine (KE) was a search engine project initiated in 2015 by the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) to locate and display verifiable and trustworthy information from public-information sources^[2] in a way that was less reliant on traditional search engines.^[3] It aimed to allow readers to stay on Wikipedia.org and other Wikipedia-related projects when looking for additional information rather than turning to proprietary search engines.^[3] Its goal was to protect user privacy, to be open and transparent about how its information originates, and to allow access to related metadata.^[4]

The project was controversial internally, and ended early in 2016. Related ideas were applied to the internal cross-wiki search engine for Wikimedia projects.^[1]
