Google has launched a new feature to search for all searchers with Google accounts entitled SearchWiki. The new feature hasn’t propagated to any of our accounts here at Mashable yet, so I have no hands-on experiences to report, but from the description and the Google screencast, the feature allows you to re-order search results, remove and add links to a given search result, and annotate results within your queries.
Here’s the screencast demonstration Google provided: As Googler Amay says in the video, all changes made to your search results are only visible to you in your own account, and your results aren’t affected by other users deletions, insertions or re-orders. Notes made on specific search results may, however, be visible to others, which looks like it could be interesting to watch how they’ll keep it from spiraling out of control.
