Saturday November 22, 2008
Google SearchWiki is a simple Google feature that allows you to customize your Google search results by ranking, removing, or adding notes to them. I've written up a simple step by step to introduce you to this useful tool: A Beginners Guide to Google SearchWiki.

I am able to get it where i am located (mid west usa) but im not sure if all users are able to see the google searchwiki yet. If not there is a video and some screen shots of the searchwiki at http://www.thesearchwiki.com do you guys think this will fly? do you think it will effect the google search results alot from now on?
I don’t know how I feel about this just yet. Giving people the ability to modify their search results almost defeats the purpose of the way the search engine was originally designed.
@Nick Stamoulis: The SearchWiki doesn’t alter anything about the way the engine works. You can now simply get rid of results that are irrelevant or offensive to you, without affecting the results for anyone else. And it works on a per result basis.
Seems very practical to me.
I have found one nice tool http://www.GoogleItFaster.com . Is so clean and user-friendly, that I’m surprised why more web searching services are not using that solution. Do you have any idea?
