MeFi post: Search this!

Anyone else remember Spider? (Do I have that name right?) It was a search engine that modified itself through community use. When you clicked a result, it took into account how long you stayed at that site, and how many other sites you linked to from it, and used composite data to modify that sites' ranking the next time that search was performed. It was actually getting pretty good for certain topics, but the critical mass thing was the sticking point.
