Default Search Wiki on Google

Anyone notice Search Wiki on Google or have I been blind? Shows up in Firefox but not Internet Explorer.
I don't think I would use it since I'm tracking serps but I wonder if end users will be deleting things.

I just noticed it now. I am using IE and this must have been added today.

What the heck it that all about?

Actually, not sure what my opinion is just yet, as this only occurs when people are actually logged into their google account. I would have to bet that most people looking for RE in my area dont have a google account so therefore nothing changed...but that is just my guess

Can't help but think that this ability will have some play in future Google search results. Perhaps a type of voting system where authority users have more say then others???

I didn't see it but then I logged into my Google account and it showed up. It seems cool because I can change the search results (moving my site higher up the rankings). Then I thought some more and figured it's probably only changing for me, not for everybody else.

Is it just me, Search Wiki disappeared several days ago from my searches whether I use IE7 or FF and yes I'm logged in to my Google account?

I'm hoping it's gone for good.
