Google SearchWiki lets you customize the search results by promoting, demoting and adding new pages. You can also annotate the results.

Bucket tests and experimental products are one thing. But to mess with the real Google search is serious stuff. Why did they do it?

Google’s overall search share has grown substantially this year (and all other years since it went live). Their share of search advertising dollars is likely even higher.

The changes Google made to search today certainly make it more interactive and social.

Google has released a new feature, called SearchWiki, that allows users to vote search results up or down, remove them entirely, or leave notes with their thoughts.

(Note: Click on the first result in each of the search results pages linked to throughout the post to see this feature in action.)

A scanner is a wonderful tool. Every day, people all over the world post scanned documents online -- everything from official government reports to obscure academic papers. These files usually contain images of text, rather than the text themselves.But all of these documents have one thing in common: someone somewhere thought they were they were valuable enough to share with the world.

Ex: If I search for "excel" a result for the Excel program comes up. Clicking on it does nothing.

Well I looked hi and low for a solution to this problem and didn't find one that worked. But on doing so i discover how to get access to these folders.

1) Right click the folder that you are being denied access to and go to properties.
2) Once there go to the security tab, click the edit button and in the Group or user name remove Everyone then apply.
3) Hit the add button
4) In that click on Advanced
5) In that window click on the Find button
6) In the search results scan down to you find Everyone highlight it and press OK
