Google's new customised feature

Google's search engine has received an extensive overhaul, The Australian reports.

The internet monolith now allows web users to edit, delete, rate and share search results in a move that brings social networking features to the search engine arena.

According to Google the key benefit of the SearchWiki is the ability to customise searches that are performed on a regular basis.

Users must be signed up to a Google account in order to use the service, which only applies to their search results.
