From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SearchWiki was a Google search feature which allows logged-in users to annotate and re-order search results. The annotations and modified order only apply to the user's searches, but it was possible to view other users' annotations for a given search query.[1] SearchWiki was released on November 20, 2008 and discontinued on March 3, 2010.[2]All previously created SearchWiki edits are preserved on the logged in users SearchWiki notes page.[3]

Google Stars replaces SearchWiki. Users no longer have the option to annotate or re-order search results. Instead a user clicks on a star marker which makes the entry appear in a starred results list at the top of a new search. The starred results list can be clicked to bring up Google Bookmarks where the list entries can be annotated. For people who like to share annotations, Google offers Google Sidewiki.[4]
