Subject: SearchWiki Broken
Hello Skylar and the rest of the Google team,

over the weekend I was excited to try out this feature just to find
out that it does not work for me.

I have been dissatisfied with the results for my favorite subject,
SEO, for a long time. Most of the results are just tailored to people
who do not know what SEO is (like one of the commenters above who
likened SEO to spam).

So I customized my Google result page for the term SEO to reflect my
preferences and to include the best sources available like SEOMoz,
Sphinn, Search Engine Land etc.

I had to remove the two useless Wikipedia results and all but one of
the other only slightly relevant results. After I was finished adding
9 other sources I reloaded the page just to discover that I had the
default results with Wikipedia and all the irrelevant stuff in front
of my eyes again.

I assumed that I missed a "save" feature or something and tried again,
reordered everything etc. but it disappeared again. The only way I can
see my changes is by clicking "See all my SearchWiki notes". There I
see the history of my changes but they don't appear on my search
result page.

Moreover I can't see any of the changes made by others when clicking
"See all notes for this SearchWiki".

I see "Nobody has made any edits to the results for seo." at
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=seo&sourceid=mozilla-search&star...

I'm using Google.com from Germany.

Sincerely, Tad
