why doesn't google search implement downvoting / upvoting search results? I never understood this... what if human judgement was better than the AI powering the results indexing, for particular keywords that don't seem to be machine learned well enough

From waht I've read, they do implement voting of a kind, by measuring clicks (and considering that a 'vote') and time on the result page (if you immediately hit 'back' and click on another link, you obviously weren't satisfied).

If you think human judgement is going to deliver truly good content, then you either haven't been introduced to the concepts of "clickbait" and "the reddit frontpage".
