Wink also retrieves the pages most relevant to the search using TagRank algorithms.

“By tagging favorite pages, adding ratings, and creating collections of favorites and links about what you think is cool, interesting or important, you provide the information that helps us build better search.” [Source]

Wink has integrated Google Search to its search engine. Users are able to view standard web results and the most popular links for the particular search.

Users can also tag results in Wink. “A tag is similar to a bookmark, but it allows you also annotate any link with words that you associate with that link.

For instance, if you tagged www.kodak.com, you could notate it with the terms “camera”, “photography” and “film”. Your tags are stored in your “My Page”, so if you want to then go look at all the sites you use for photography, www.kodak.com and any others that you have tagged will be there.” [Source]
