Google SearchWiki
open-in-new
<p>SearchWiki was a <a href="/facts/Google_Search/LFnCogKt">Google Search</a> feature which allowed <a href="/facts/Login/xNRgTVnV">logged-in</a> users to annotate and re-order <a href="/facts/Search_engine_(computing)/KJmpgDbH">search results</a>. The annotations and modified order only applied to the user's searches, but it was possible to view other users' <a href="/facts/Annotation/dGfVSUKc">annotations</a> for a given <a href="/facts/Web_search_query/xY17HbzT">search query</a>. SearchWiki was released on November 20, 2008 and discontinued on March 3, 2010. All previously created SearchWiki edits are preserved on the logged in user's <a href="http://www.google.com/reviews/w">SearchWiki notes page</a>. </p><p>Google Stars replaced SearchWiki. Users no longer have the option to annotate or re-order search results. Instead, a user clicks on a "star marker" which makes the entry appear in a starred results list at the top of a new search. </p>
