I tried to use searchWiki by google yesterday!
So what you need to do is just logging in to google account, and you will find some unfamiliar links next to the result of search. One is to “pick up” and one it to “delete” the result.
Now we had a question. It looks this feature works only for exact the same query. Which means, even if you delete one of the results for a query “noodle”, when you try “noodle Japanese”, the deleted result comes up again. …isn’t it a bit irritating?
So our main opinion was “well….I wouldn’t use this.” Now the next question. What is this feature for, then? ….Google, isn’t it?
And another question. With this feature, you also can comment on the results.
These “pickup”, “delete”, “comment”, it looks all your action is
published to all over the world compulsorily. For example, when you
delete a result, it also shows “Bob and Jane deleted this result”, and
by clicking “All notes for this searchWiki”, you can preview comments by
others. Also, I’m not sure if it’s bug or not, but my test comment
remains there despite I deleted it. Isn’t it annoying for the website
which was used as test? Now the result for query “google” is full of
test comments at the moment.
To be honest, I don’t like this feature. First of all, which is the concept of this feature, “Personal customisation tool” or “Let’s edit the result together! (=wiki)” ? To me, it looks a bit mixed and confused. At least, I assume everyone wants the option to turn if off…
Thinking like that, I tried another query but the feature doesn’t work…??????
