Interestingly enough, AI had problems providing a graphic of "wikipedia" hits on a historic basis. At wiki, this was the best I could do:

After exponential growth between 2001 and 2002, growth slowed significantly and continues to slow.

I find the following complementary and I rely on all three for different reasons:

• Google search (classic search)
• Wikipedia

Social media: I find "x" invaluable for "up-to-date" information from folks I trust and in areas of interest but do not consider "x" a search engine, per se.
