Techniques for customizing search may include the following operations: outputting, to a computing device of a user, a Web page that enables selection of signals that are usable to generate search results; during a search session, receiving, through the Web page, a query and a selection corresponding to one or more of the signals, where the selection differs from a default set of search signals used by the search system for searching; obtaining, for output to the computing device, search results that are based on the query and the selection; and following the search session, configuring the search system to use the default set of search signals for searching. |

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
providing a user interface that includes first control through which a user may enter one or more query terms of a search query, and a second control through which the user may activate a search mode that selects search results for presentation without regard to at least one of geographic data, language data, user search history data, or social network information related to the user and that, when a search session ends, automatically reverts to a default search mode that selects search results for presentation using at least one of geographic data, language data, user search history data, or social network information related to the user; receiving (i) the search query, and (ii) data indicating that a user that submitted the search query has selected the second control to activate the search mode that selects search results for presentation without regard to at least one of geographic data, language data, user search history data, or social network information related to the user and that, when the search session ends, automatically reverts to the default search mode that selects search results for presentation using at least one of geographic data, language data, user search history data, or social network information related to the user; based on receiving the data indicating that the user that submitted the search query has activated the search mode, selecting, using a processor, particular search results for presentation in response to the search query, without regard to at least one of geographic data, language data, user search history data, or social network information related to the user; determining that a search session that included the received search query has ended; and in response to determining that the search session that included the received search query has ended, automatically reverting to a default search mode that selects search results for presentation using at least one of geographic data, language data, user search history data, or social network information related to the user. |
