Google, the Internet’s most popular search engine has given users the power to choose the search results being delivered to them. Now, if you don’t want a particular result which seems useless for you, you can delete it and you won’t see it again. You can also put your favorite website on top billing so that you will always find it whenever you enter the same search request.

With the new Google service that was just unveiled, it somehow gives the search a more personal touch.  The new service also carries more features other than just choosing the search results. Marissa Mayer, who oversees the company’s search products, said that “It should make the search result more dynamic.”

Users will need to have a personal login account to be able to use the service. Here’s how it work with the new system called SearchWiki, log-in to your Google account, upon receiving your search request, you will see a series of buttons below the links. An arrow pointing upward will move the result higher on the result page when you click on it, clicking an “X” will delete the link from the results list. The next time you request for the same search, it will be just like the last time you accessed it.

Aside from the above features, the new service also allows users to make notes. They can open a box to make notes about different sites which they can read again in the future. These notes will be shared with others who are logged in, if they click on a link for “See all notes for this SearchWiki.”

Google acknowledges the fact that despite its seemingly omniscient search engine, it can’t possible know which websites will appeal to specific users. For this reason, it gave the power to tinker with their results.
