			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Varun told me about Google&#8217;s SearchWiki being introduced in India this morning. It is nice that I can play around with my search results move them up or close them, add comments to it so that I don&#8217;t waste time looking up those results again. I have been using delicious to mark the links that I like, so that I don&#8217;t have to search them again, but I guess I would start commenting on them from now on.</p>
<p>The first thing that came to my mind was, if people can use this to push their search results on top. I checked out google&#8217;s official blog entry on SearchWiki and it clearly states</p>
<blockquote><p>The changes you make <span style="font-weight: bold;">only</span> affect <span style="font-weight: bold;">your own</span> searches.</p></blockquote>
<p>So when you move a search result up, it is reflected only in your search results and not others.</p>
<blockquote><p>But SearchWiki also is a great way to share your insights with other searchers. You can see how the community has collectively edited the search results by clicking on the &#8220;See all notes for this SearchWiki&#8221; link.</p></blockquote>
<p>So in a way you <strong>can </strong>try and push your product: not on the top of the search results, but by the quality of the comments <img src='http://www.namitnangia.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>You can read Google&#8217;s Official Post on it <a title="Google's Official Post" href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/searchwiki-make-search-your-own.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>
<p>Here is how to use it</p>
