Google's Digg-Like Search Interface

Around the end of last year, Google had started testing a Digg-like tool enabling the user to modify the order of the search results. Google is renewing this experience with a system named "Edit Search Results" enabling the user to modify the order (moving upward or downward) of search results through the icon Google Digg Icon, delete results using the icon Google Digg Delete Icon, suggest a link that does not appear in the results, or insert a comment (Google Digg Comment Icon) that would only appear to the user having added this comment.

It's important to note that these functionalities are also available for example in the latest version of Wikia Search. For the moment, on Google, only a selected number of users will be given the possibility to use these functionalities since it is still under the testing phase.
