Wikifying Search with Swickis

Swickis are an interesting idea. As their mother-ship, Eurekster, explains:

A swicki is new kind of search engine that allows anyone to create deep, focused searches on topics you care about. Unlike other search engines, you and your community have total control over the results and it uses the wisdom of crowds to improve search results. This search engine, or swicki, can be published on your site. Your swicki presents search results that you're interested in, pulls in new relevant information as it is indexed, and organizes everything for you in a neat little customizable widget you can put on your web site or blog, complete with its very own buzz cloud that constantly updates to show you what are hot search terms in your community.

If you want to see one in action, try archival, which helps you "find texts, images, audio, art, public-domain images and information, electronic books, and archival media." The interesting bit is that once you have done a search, you can suggest re-orderings of the results - just mouse over the entry, and use the options that appear to the right.
