More useful options are added by Google to their Image Search
The next phase of a hot chase in the search market has begun, where Google, Yahoo and the recent Microsoft’s offspring Bing are involved. As of today Google Images have added a new dimension to their search option. It is now more easy for Google users to filter their search by type (face, clip art, photo, line drawing), color and size of the file.
The new tools including search by image type and color are so simple, to save valuable searching time and get the search results most accurately.
Images in color or only black and white can be searched by the new search option, as also images of specific colors – red, pink or green.
Type search option will enable trimming down the results, if you are searching a specific kind of image like – a clip art; photo; face; or line drawing. Further users can get the specific size, irrespective of the usual size of images, by the Size option.
According to Google’s official blog, they have completely revamped their size search, whereby users can search, in addition to commonly searched-for sizes, exact image size or larger images than a specific size. Practically any image size including 70 megapixeles or more can be found.
Combined search options have been made possible now and Google will introduce more on this in future. These are not new, but were available already as “Advanced’ search. But they have been moved to the left-hand column and by clicking “Show options” in the blue bar on the search result page, one can get all these new tools – more than one option to trim down the search.
With the Creative Common License one more option of sorting by images is also available. Although Yahoo and Bing boast of similar options for filtering, Google has advanced tools to sort upto 12 different colors, whereas the other two can only allow sort by color or black and white.
