I think SearchWiki solved a different problem. It was about, approximately, globally curated results for certain searches. What's being described is personalized curation, at least that's how I read it. I'd definitely be into such a feature, and it really doesn't seem like a tremendous undertaking to make it something opt-in via Labs. I also recall SearchWiki being about specific results, which is not desired behavior for the personal curation experience I have in mind.
- fanf2 16y agoThe searchwiki votes should have fed into a global spam filter. Search-specific curation is useless and personal spam lists fail to make use of economies of scale. Spam filtering is all about scale.
- groks 16y agoAmen. They could put it here: http://www.google.com/experimental/ http://www.google.com/experimental/ Compare that to the GMail labs. It's pitiful. They already have the exact opposite curation feature: the star system. And it's crazy. When I search, and click one of the 10 results, and the result turns out to be satisfying, the last thing I want to do is click the back button and star it. When the result turns out to be spam I necessarily have to hit the back button and try again. Staring me in the face is the now-purple link spam - let me X it. Personal blacklists are the least Google could do, because my SERP is never going to be perfect. Feeding those blacklists back into the general SERP population is an interesting research project.
