SearchWiki was a Google Search feature which allowed logged-in users to annotate and re-order search results. The annotations and modified order only applied to the user's searches, but it was possible to view other users' annotations for a given search query.{{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.
