Search Engine Learns From User Feedback

Posted by simoniker on from the double-meanings-never-so-confusing dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ian Clarke, founder of the Freenet project, has set up a web search engine that allows users to rate each of the search results it returns. WhittleBit will use your feedback to determine which keywords should be added or removed from your search, then you can search again to get more accurate results. This could be useful for those cases where Google just refuses to return the search results you want. Could improved interactivity be the next big search engine advancement after Pagerank?"

    All you atheists! Think before you talk! Where do you think this planet has come from? TELL ME THAT! All the planets in the sky and the sun??? WHERE DID THEY COME FROM??? Is that just imagination??? WHO DESIGNED HUMAN BRAINS??? what??? THINK BEFORE YOU TALK!!!

    Ever thought that the human beings might have cognitive understanding?? Just like birds can never understand how to make a pizza we humans might not be able to EVER understand the mystery of the universe. Well, not a mystery to me. I believe in God.

    Does this "search engine" search 20 years of Usenet? No. Google does.

    Does this "search engine" provide stock quotes, maps, phone numbers, and news? No. Google does.
