Google SearchWiki is a new tool by Google that allows users to personalize their search results. The tool enables users to rank links on a search result in order of their preference. It also allows users to eliminate links they don't find useful. SearchWiki will then log those preferences with the user, customizing subsequent search queries.Telegraph: Google SearchWiki tool allows user to personalise search (November 20, 2008)
