Google launches customized results

By Alex on November 20th 2008 - 0 comments

While searching Google tonight, I notice a couple icons next to every one of my search results. An green "up arrow", and a red "x". Google says "When possible, Google will customize your search results based on location and/or recent search activity. Additionally, when you're signed in to your Google Account, you may see even more relevant, useful results based on your web history".



So if you search for "Weed Pictures", and you scroll down and see the 5th result, ChronicFile.com, and you think that should be your first result, just hit the green up arrow.

If you hit the green up button, it will move that search results to the number one spot. Then when you search for "SEARCH" in the future, your search results should be the same. If you "delete" a search result, it will fall to the bottom of all the other search results. You can always un-delete any results you've deleted in the past.

Remember, these are personal customized results, and as far as we know your votes will not affect the search results of anybody else using Google. Although Google might use that information to tweak SERP int he future.
