Google Personalizes Search with SearchWiki

November 21, 2008 | Source: New York Times

Google has introduced a new feature called SearchWiki that will allow people (in a gradual rollout to all users) to modify and save their results for specific Google searches.

They can move the sites that appear in rankings up or down, take them out altogether, leave notes next to specific sites (which are public) and suggest new sites that are not already in the results (or are buried too far down in the results to see).
