Google Preferred Sites
There is an particular google experiment which shows to a portion of the users. In this experiment, Google’s preferences page lets you add sites that you prefer to see in results. “Based on your search history, Google suggests some frequently-visited sites, but you can add any other site,†Ionut says.
The help page explains more: “The preferred sites feature lets you set your Google Web Search preferences so that your search results match your unique tastes and needs. Fill in the sites you rely on the most, and results from your preferred sites will show up more often when they’re relevant to your search query.”
Some use cases for the feature: adding sites you trust for finding a certain kind of information (movie reviews, sports results), adding more obscure sites that aren’t likely to appear in the top results (local news sites) and a partial replacement for bookmarks.
The feature is an experimental feature that can be found in Google’s preferences page if you are logged in and you were selected to test it.
