In the Google search settings page, I followed a "learn more" link about
SearchWiki, which took me here:

Looks like any comments/promotions/rankings you make are stored for your own
use -- the documentation on the help page seems to suggest that this
information is private (in the sense that it's only viewed by you on your
own searches, if not necessarily as a matter of policy), but I notice the
button to submit a comment is labelled "Make a public comment"; confusing!
