Google launches SearchWiki for personalizing your search results E-mail

SearchWiki is available to only if you have a Google account and are signed in to it, since they store your changes in your Google Account.

The millions of users of Gmail and Google Docs and Blogger.com will already have an account, and it's a simple matter to set one up.

"This new feature is an example of how search is becoming increasingly dynamic, giving people tools that make search even more useful to them in their daily lives," say Google.

Just because you and others have stored their personalized searches away in their accounts, it does not mean that ordinary Google searches will be affected in any way.

This will be a major relief to all those webmasters and SEO specialists out there who strive to get their sites high up in Google's search rankings.

I certainly hope that Google keeps on vigorously researching the presentation and management of search results, because one thing's for sure: the amount of information out there on the Web keeps on increasing in leaps and bounds. Unless we can access and manage it more smartly we'll be buried under the relentlessly surging tsanami of data.

I certainly plan to make good use of SearchWiki, and bet that some of you will too.

You can watch one of their lead engineers, Amay, demonstrate a few ways to use SearchWiki in the following short video:
