Voting results

    Google Experimental Labs LogoThe idea of ​​"webdanolezing" the page for issuing search results on the Internet, giving each user the opportunity to influence the site of his favorite site in the ranking, is popular not only among developers of small alternative projects . She also found her embodiment through the efforts of the Google experimental lab . The TechCrunch blog noticed and told everyone about this experience on Wednesday.

    The essence of the idea is simple: opposite each search result, a small voting block is displayed in which a specific site can be raised to the very top of the search results or completely excluded from it. In addition, if none of the pages found satisfies you and you know the address of the one that matches your query perfectly, by clicking on the orange star next to the first result, you can indicate to the system its imperfection by prompting your candidate for leadership.

    So far, all these changes will be taken into account only for a specific user, and then if he is logged into his Google account. Each time when searching for a word, on the issuance of which he influenced, such a user will see his creation unchanged. If he has a desire to look at the natural state of things, he can do this with one click of the mouse on the "reset" button.

    In the future, nothing prevents the search engine from summarizing user opinion statistics and, based on it, generating results for everyone. However, experience has not yet been planned to be implemented in ordinary practice.
