Google recently released their new SearchWiki feature which allows users, who are logged into a Google account, to rearrange search results (by clicking on arrows that move them up or down one slot), remove results from the returned list, and comment on results (all comments are made public). More information is in this Google blog article.

It’s encouraging to see Google taking user responses into account. It has always been our opinion that this is something sadly missing from the mainstream search world. Google also states that the results’ movements, removals, and comments will not be used as input to their search algorithms. Well, at least not yet.
