Google unveils custom search, kills Lively

Google has unveiled a new tool which allows users to customize search results and announced it is ending its virtual world experiment, Lively

Google, in a posting on its official blog on Thursday, said a new feature known as SearchWiki allows users to personalize search results by editing them according to their own preferences.

SearchWiki lets users who have a Google Account rearrange their search results, re-ranking websites by moving them up or down in the results page.
Useless search results can be deleted and others can be added.
"With just a single click you can move the results you like to the top or add a new site," Google said. "You can also write notes attached to a particular site and remove results that you don't feel belong."
