Abstract
A system customizes search results. In one implementation, an exemplary system personalizes search results based on recommendations from members of online social networks to which the user belongs, who have made similar search queries in the past. The system also enables the user to arrange, insert, and delete search result entries into a customized search results queue from across multiple search engines. The user'"'"'s own customizations of the search results may be shared, in turn, as recommendations for other users who submit similar search queries and who are associated with the user through online social networks. The system may automatically provide personally relevant search results for a subjective query. In one implementation, the system also posts search results that contain explicit recommendations made by peers, posts the reputation of the peers, and appends links to channels for directly communicating with those peers who submitted the recommendations or with peers who are currently performing a similar search.
