Definition: SearchWiki is an element of the Google Web search interface that was introduced in November of 2009. It allows logged-in users to change the ranking of search results and make public comments about those results.

Changes you make only affect your personal results, but comments are visible to everyone. SearchWiki raised privacy concerns, and some users complained that they could not turn SearchWiki off.
