Google SearchWiki is an Overkill
Dear Udi Manber, Google engineers, and GUI specialists,
Please change the SearchWiki comments mechanism.
Instead of deploying a forum-style layout, use a short questionnaire with 2 or 3 questions, each having its own radio buttons with values of “Yes“, “For this particular search only“, “Maybe“, “No“, and “Spam“.
The 3 possible questions I came up with are:
- Is this result relevant?
- Is this a page worth visiting?
- Does this page suit your needs?
This will have much better effects on the search algorithm and database, and will make users’ input language-independent.
Oh, and by the way, also cancel the Promote / Remove buttons. They’re redundant.
Cheers!
