Google updates image search to be faster, more reliable



Google Images enhances its search function.

Google announced today that it is revamping its image search to make it speedier and more reliable. Soon, people will be able to simultaneously see images and image information while searching for photos, illustrations, and graphics.

"Based on feedback from both users and webmasters, we redesigned Google Images to provide a better search experience," Google Images Associate Product Manager Hongyi Li wrote in a blog post today. "In the next few days, you'll see image results displayed in an inline panel so it's faster, more beautiful, and more reliable."
When users look up images currently, they see large thumbnail images for whatever they are searching. For example, the "Pacific Ocean" brings up images of maps, photos of sandy islands covered in palm trees, and pictures of waves crashing on rocks. If the user wants to know more about the image, they have to hover their mouse over it and then click to get more.
With Google's enhanced image search, people will be able to see a display of smaller images with one central image enlarged and accompanied by image information. This should significantly cut down on the hovering and clicking.
Here are some of the changes explained by Li:
  • We now display detailed information about the image (the metadata) right underneath the image in the search results, instead of redirecting users to a separate landing page.
  • We're featuring some key information much more prominently next to the image: the title of the page hosting the image, the domain name it comes from, and the image size.
  • The domain name is now clickable, and we also added a new button to visit the page the image is hosted on.
  • The source page will no longer load up in an iframe in the background of the image detail view. This speeds up the experience for users, reduces the load on the source website's servers, and improves the accuracy of webmaster metrics such as pageviews.
"You will be able to quickly flip through a set of images by using the keyboard," Li wrote. "If you want to go back to browsing other search results, just scroll down and pick up right where you left off."

  11. Another thing I have really noticed is that for many people,
    bad credit is the reaction to circumstances above their control.
    As an example they may be actually saddled having an illness so that they have more bills going to collections.
    It could be due to a work loss or the inability to work.
    Sometimes divorce process can really send the funds
    in an opposite direction. Many thanks for sharing
    your notions on this web site.

  15. A few things i have generally told folks is that when evaluating a good online electronics retail outlet, there are a few issues
    that you have to remember to consider. First and foremost, you want to make sure to choose a reputable and reliable
    retailer that has received great testimonials and
    classification from other people and marketplace leaders. This will
    ensure that you are getting along with a well-known store that provides good program and help
    to the patrons. Many thanks for sharing your notions on this blog.
