'''SearchWiki''' was a [[Google Search]] feature which allowed [[login|logged-in]] users to annotate and re-order [[search engine (computing)|search results]]. The annotations and modified order only applied to the user's searches, but it was possible to view other users' [[annotation]]s for a given [[Web search query|search query]].<ref>{{cite web|title=SearchWiki: make search your own|url=http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/searchwiki-make-search-your-own.html|accessdate=2008-11-20}}

'''Google Stars''' replaced SearchWiki. Users no longer have the option to annotate or re-order search results. Instead, a user clicks on a "star marker" which makes the entry appear in a starred results list at the top of a new search.
