Potentially, but at that point you're no longer building a general search engine and your summarizer has become much less useful.No one is going to displace Google with a search engine that only works on Wikipedia. And even if someone was able to do so and it was able to become actually popular outside of tech circles, Wikipedia would quickly be swamped by malicious edits and its editors would be overrun. This would only work if the product stayed niche enough that it wasn't worthwhile for brands and less-savory businesses to attack the Wikipedia editing process.
