1. A search ranking system comprising:
a hardware context miner, to determine a set of contexts based on profile of information rankable by the system and an access history of users that have accessed at least some of the information; a hardware context detector to compare an association of a user conducting a search, based on a user profile for the user conducting the search, with at least one of the contexts to thereby rank search results based on the comparison; a hardware personalized context generator to generate personalized clusters based on the contexts; and a hardware resource re-ranker to re-rank the search results based on manipulation of at least one of the personalized clusters, wherein the manipulation of the at least one of the personalized clusters is based on a determination of movement of a marker that is displayed independently of the at least one of the personalized clusters towards or away from the at least one of the personalized clusters, and wherein the manipulation of the at least one of the personalized clusters is further based on a determination of selection of the at least one of the personalized clusters after selection of a different personalized cluster from the personalized clusters.
