SearchWiki

The premise of SearchWiki is to let you rank search results just the way you like them (http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/searchwiki-make-search-your-own.html):

These modifications will be shown to you every time you do the same search in the future. SearchWiki is available to signed-in Google users. We store your changes in your Google Account.
