Abstract
A query submitter may submit a search query. In response, the query submitter may be provided with search results and user feedback related to the search results. The user feedback may include a relevancy rating of the search result. The relevancy rating may be derived from feedback received from a user, other than the query submitter, and may reflect how the other user perceived the relevancy of the search result to the search query. The other user may be determined to be known to the query submitter or the other user and the query submitter may share one or more attributes.
