Actually, WikiAnswers isn't a search engine - it has several search features, but examples of true search engines would be Google or AltaVista. A search engine searches for information based on keywords and returns a listing of sites where the information can be found.
WikiAnswers is a wiki-based Q&A site, where questions and answers are grown and edited collaboratively by the community. What's nice about WikiAnswers is that you can search for AND find the information you are looking for all in one place. So, the answer to your question is, "No. WikiAnswers is not a bad search engine because it's not a search engine at all."

Depends On The Question....
WikiAnswers isn't a bad site. It just has its good contributors and bad
Sluggish email service,bad search engine, relatively good finance, and of course funny name.
You are welcome to ask - and answer! - as many questions as you would like! We have a few suggestions for your questions and answers: * WikiAnswers is not a chat room; questions that are designed for chatting and socialization will be removed * WikiAnswers is not a search engine; if you need quick facts, you should probably try a search engine like www.google.com or www.dogpile.com * WikiAnswers does not provide information about how to break the law * WikiAnswers does not provide information about how to find pornography * WikiAnswers does not provide photos, pictures, or diagrams - try those search engines for that * Remember that is is always a bad idea to put your personal information onto a non-secure website on the internet * Remember that everyone who asks and answers questions on the Wiki-verse is a person; it is not polite to call names, insult them, or make fun of their attempts * WikiAnswers is a family site; inappropriate content will be removed
There is no bad thing about answering a question on WikiAnswers, there are only good things and benefits. Like, for the user that asked the question, now they know the answer that they were longing for. And, you, you just shared your knowledge, doesn't that feel good?
It is not the purpose of WikiAnswers to decide what is "bad" and what is not. That is an issue of personal morals and ethics (and, perhaps, religion).
Out weigh the bad with good. If you have bad press on you then go do something good to get the good press to overcome the bad.
It is not. Stop slamming Wikianswers.
Using a Diesel fuel conditioner would be good for your engine and would not be bad at all.
It's a good engine, just bad to work on.
Because this is not a search engine and the other one is.
