Google Stars...

Google Stars is designed to help people navigate online easier. For the large percentage of internet users that still don't know the difference between a address bar and a search bar this is most certainly for you.

Here is a short explanation of the feature from the Google Blog:

“With stars, you can simply click the star marker on any search result or map and the next time you perform a search, that item will appear in a special list right at the top of your results when relevant. That means if you star the official websites for your favorite football teams, you might see those results right at the top of your next search for [nfl]. Here’s what the new ‘Starred results’ feature looks like:”

Stars sync with Google Bookmarks and the Google Toolbar, allowing you to look at and manage them from one location. Stars will replace SearchWiki, meaning that you will no longer have those transparent arrows to reorder results. However, if you’ve used SearchWiki extensively, don’t fret: Your edits will be preserved.
