Move over algorithms. Now is the time to make humans search for you. Just a few days after the introduction of a search engine that works primarily using human labour, Google now says it will give out results searched by humans.

Google became popular because of its extremely powerful algorithms that gave out instant results on just about anything. Even Wikipedia, the Internet’s most popular encyclopedia is launching a search engine that will work on less of mathematics and more of human involvement.

Matt Cutts, search quality engineer at Google said at Seattle that when people think of Google, they think of pure algorithms. "We've recently begun trying to communicate the fact that we're not averse to using some manual intervention,” he said.

Cutts' comments follow the launch last Wednesday of an alpha version of Mahalo.com, a new search engine that operates by using people to dig through the Internet manually looking for quality sites. Mahalo.com currently can deliver results for 4,000 popular search terms, with plans to reach 10,000 terms by the end of the year. Workers remove spam sites, sites with overbearing advertising, pages that rush information without giving appropriate credit to the source, and sites of unknown origin.

Google uses human interaction for a variety of different functions, such as acting on spam. Additional human interaction might come if Google decides to allow users to report people who buy links in order to try to improve their search rankings.
