[Wikipedia-l] Google's experimental/feedback search engine

Just reading a slashdot article
(http://slashdot.org/articles/06/11/12/1425219.shtml) about an
unbranded test search engine (http://www.searchmash.com/) created by
Google to "test innovative user interfaces in order to continually
improve the overall search experience for our users".

Upon searching it asks the user for feedback:
> Were these results useful to you?
> Web Pages Yes / No
> Images Yes / No
> Wikipedia Yes / No

I suppose Google is trying to see whether users actually like getting
Wikipedia results so much. The outcome of this feedback could have an
impact upon us.
