The script allows you to help test the validity of the theory that "the last search result you click on was the best result".

How many times have you 'dug' through search results to find the one search result that you really wanted? Once you found that result, don't you wish that what you found would've been the first one on Google's search results page? Google works great for easy searches like "greasemonkey", but for more direct searches where you're searching for a fix to a problem and have to dig through hundreds of forum posts like "mysql replication error 237 ...", this script will remember the 'last' hit that users clicks on and aggregates all of the user data and will compile a 'better first result' and insert the most popular 'last hit' result on google's results page.

Newer versions of this script will insert a new "best result" into google search results based on the consensus of most popular 'last hits'. The initial version of the script is just collecting search data.

NOTE: this script 'phones home' but does not send any personal data.

Installing this script will allow you to participate the study.
