    I’ve always wanted google to do this! I hate some of the results that show up. Especially when I’m searching for lyrics, some websites are very sketchy and should not be visited.

    I am able to get it where i am located (mid west usa) but im not sure if all users are able to see the google searchwiki yet. If not there is a video and some screen shots of the searchwiki at http://www.thesearchwiki.com do you guys think this will take off? do you think it will effect the google search results alot from now on?

    This is most likely just another way for Google to build a profile on you for advertising purposes. What better way to target site advertising than to ask you to rate the sites that come up?

    Actually, I have put my gmail theme as planets. It’s actually a little easier on my eyes then the default bright white one.

    Really cool ideas about the searchwiki. I like it.
