Google’s New Non-Semantic Approach To Personal Search
by Jason Wilk on November 20, 2008
Today Google launced SearchWiki, a way for Google users (once-signed in) to customize search by re-ranking, deleting, adding, and commenting on search results.
Your comments will be shown to others, however the changes you make to results will only affect your own searches.
All of your search changes will be stored in your Google account for future searches. The video above exmplains it quite well.
Another safe play for Google. They are too afraid to mess with the one product that makes them money. I guess I don't blame them, but this could have been a revolutionary push for semantic search for Google.
I thought google will be going in the direction of hakia.com and others to fight off competition that may arise in the semantic search arena. Comments are ridiculous i think!! Otherwise it's pretty cool.
