Google Shows off 'The Future of Search'

TechCrunch has a video if a cool integration of Web 2.0 and Search 2.0 that looks like a more useful extension of Wiki KeyMatch new to Google Appliance Version 5.

Basically users can vote for high quality results, and when such a result shows up in a search, there is a small green graphic adjacent to the result. Clicking on the result lets you add your own comment to the result, and provides a way to view what other people thought about the result. As long as users are honest with their evaluations, just having a small green tab by the result shows that at least one person thought the result was good.. In the corporation, this looks like a much better solution than existing Wiki KeyMatch, which just places users' comments in-line where 'best bets' or promoted content usually goes.

The TechCrunch article is called "The Future of Search?" Maybe a future.
