search experience

Google has added SearchWiki tools that will enable Web surfers to create customized search results by adding, deleting, re-sorting or commenting on query results. The program's development team said SearchWiki is a good example of how search is becoming increasingly dynamic.

Web searching can expose users to a whole range of malicious sites, so Yahoo is now teaming up with security vendor McAfee to make its search experience more secure for users.

On Tuesday, the two companies announced a partnership that they said will "deliver a safer Web-search experience" through the beta launch of a new SearchScan feature. Built on McAfee's SiteAdvisor technology, SearchScan alerts Yahoo Search users when they're visiting risky sites.
