How to use SearchWiki

Here’s how you can rank, remove, add, and comment on search results:

• Like a certain search result?

  Click to move it to the top of the page. This result will appear at the top whenever you do the same search in the future. We’ll add this marker next to it so you’ll recognize it later.

• Don’t like a result?

  Click to remove it, and it’ll remain hidden whenever you do the same search in the future.
