Hebbet is reporting that SearchWiki is now available on Google.de. I just noticed that SearchWiki is also available on Google.nl. So Google is rolling it out on local versions?

Google.fr since sunday or monday too.

And still no way to disable it. I would pay to disable it.

Yes that is an option that i'm missing to. Although I’m not using SearchWiki I'm using Google.com for a while now but I don't find it annoying in the serach results.

To be honest, I don't even notice it's there anymore...

I sometimes notice it because I accidentally click on one of the icons. Otherwise I completely stopped using it in any way (the x, the upvoting, the commenting). I guess if it would have "real-er" effects – for instance, bombing a whole domain out of my results for some time, independent of the query (expertsexchange.com etc.) – maybe I'd use it from time to time... as it is, it somehow feels like wasted effort.

I often navigate on SERPs with my keyboard, and now there are one or two more "tabs" to do to switch result. And as Philipp sometimes I click on them accidentally.
