Google is today unveiling a new feature enabling users to customise their search results by re-ranking, deleting, adding, and commenting on web search results.
The new feature is designed to give Australians greater control over the results they see on the search engine. Users can see the changes they make whenever they do the same searches while signed in to their Google Account, or until they decide to undo them. The changes they make only affect their search results.
There will also be a public page where users can also view how the community has edited rankings (in aggregate). There, users can also see comments that have been made on a set of results. How to use it: Click the up arrow to move it to the top of the page, and this result will appear at the top whenever users do the same search in the future. We'll add a green arrow marker pointing up next to it so they can recognise it later.
Don't like a result? Click the X to remove a result, and it'll remain hidden whenever a search is done in the future.
Know of a better webpage? At the bottom of any search results page, click "Add a result" to add a page that you consider relevant to that search. The page you suggested will appear at the top with the green arrow marker.
