The recently launched U Rank by Microsoft offers the opportunity to  move results around, simultaneously sharing them with friends and add own comments to listings. U Rank enables you to move an item up or down, copy the item to another search, add a note to any item and delete a result. Any search performed by you is automatically shared with your friend with the help of this service. the sharing service is by default. For personal searches, you have to block the sharing option.

Privacy is pivotal in case of social search engines . The search engines resemble the confessionals as people here seek solutions to problems what they are unable to convey to real people close to them. Keeping the by default sharing option of U rank, you are advised to start without any friends. Hence, be a little cautious and enjoy the advantages of U Rank.
