SearchWiki -
SearchWiki is
Google's experimental
search personalization concept that is being beta tested in November 2008.
Here is the announcement of SearchWiki. Quoting part of the announcement:
Today we're launching SearchWiki, a way for you to customize search by
re-ranking, deleting, adding, and commenting on search results. With just a
single click you can move the results you like to the top or add a new site.
You can also write notes attached to a particular site and remove results
that you don't feel belong. These modifications will be shown to you every
time you do the same search in the future. SearchWiki is available to
signed-in Google users. We store your changes in your Google Account. If you
are wondering if you are signed in, you can always check by noting if your
username appears in the upper right-hand side of the page.
You can add comments to a site listing and you can make them public,
suggesting that Google MIGHT have plans to make use of these data, not only in
the search results they show you, but in the search results they show others.
You can also add a site to the results, which really might be a way of submitted
a site for a particular
Keyword.
Search Wiki is an extension of Personalized Search, which tries to provide
search engine results on your previous searches, your location, and perhaps the
site links you clicked on.

present, and it seems you have to be in a state of grace. Google doesn't show
SearchWiki to everyone I am told.
If you are among the lucky ones, you can see it (in November 2008) when you do a
Google search.
SearchWiki seems very similar to an experimental Search Engine called
