Google SearchWiki
I just did quick search, and saw all these extra icons. After finishing my search, I went to the Google Blog to see what was all this stuff. It turns out that all that extra stuff is Google’s new feature called SearchWiki. SearchWiki allows users to put certain items at the top of the list if they always click result 5 for x search. After watching the video about SearchWiki feature, I thought of several questions:
- Wait a minute, I thought the “My Web History” stuff was supposed to rearrange stuff for me – yes I know SearchWiki is instantaneously.
- I thought marking a result as a bookmark also does this.
- How do I undelete/unremove a search? It’s bound to happen, "Shoot! I meant to hit bump, but I hit the x". I didn’t see an undo button anywhere
- How much extra do screen reader users have to listen to?
- Can I turn this off? Kind of cluttersome
- Are bumped results tied to Google Bookmarks?
- Will bumped results from all users affect general search results?
- What happened to the Google Bookmarks or rather, where’d the bookmark star go?
I am sure more will arise, but that is just a few. I know I may find the comments handy to use. Then again, if I added a result as a bookmark, I usually added a comment to it.
