	Google's Image Search
		Google just seems to do everything better, recently adding image searching to its repertoire of search capabilities.
		Since no search engine is capable of looking at an image and saying what it is, and since no one is willing to take the time to look at 150 million images to see what the content is, the search engine simply searches for your term in the file name of the image.
		The search results not only give you a thumbnail view of the original image but also information on the image size and the Internet address of the web page where the image was found.

	Blocking Google Image Search (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Note that when you submit a search for Google images, you are redirected to a URL starting with http://images.google.com.
		Google considers a number of factors when determining whether an image is relevant to your search request.
		Nevertheless, the same sort of technique should be usable to block image searching on Yahoo, or to prevent changes to the preferences.

	Google Guide: Image Search
		Google Image Search works best when there are many images available to choose from, e.g., photos of Anna Kournikova, the most photographed tennis player.
		Google technology isn't yet to the point where it can tell what's in an image by looking at it directly.
		Restrict your results to images that are large, medium, or small by clicking on one of the links that is in the upper right corner on the Images results page.

		Thumbnails created by Google Image Search allow users to identify information they are looking for online and then access that information—much like an electronic card catalog.
		As certain information about images can only be conveyed visually, there is no other feasible way to provide image search on the Internet than capturing images, transforming them into thumbnails, and then displaying them on a search results page for users.
		While the images provided by Perfect 10 may have limited academic application, the ramifications of its lawsuit could have a huge impact on educational research.

	Google Image search engine
		I experimented briefly with images in Google's database that are from my site, that have since been removed from my site or moved to a new directory.
		Google can claim that they only get "indexing information" on an image -- i.e., a thumbnail, and throw away the actual image once the thumbnail is generated.
		google bot keeps tring to spider images that are not and have never been on the site.

	Google Updates Image Search
		When users search for queries such as [sunsets], [mountains], [torre eiffel], or [inverno] on the Google homepage, they may see relevant thumbnail images at the top of their search results marked "Image Results." When users click on the thumbnail images, they will be directed to the website that contains the original image.
		Google Image Search also displays current news images and links to news headlines related to a user's query.
		For example, a query on google image search for "earth" will likely show relevant news images and links to related news stories at the top of the results pages if "earth" is in the news at the time of the query.

	Using Google Image Search \| Dummies Resource > Internet & E-Commerce
		Instead, Google Images uses the context of an image to determine the image's relevance in your search results.
		HTML parameter associated with the image, and (most importantly) the caption of the image are the essential clues Google uses to categorize and sort image search results.
		Of course, Google Images can't always do a perfect job, and if the contextual elements aren't present — perhaps an image is placed alone on a Web page without any text at all — Google has no way to determine the content of the image.

	Google launches image search
		According to Google Google's Image Search is the most comprehensive on the Web, with more than 150 million images indexed and available for viewing.
		When searching for images you will get up to 20 thumbnail images on the results page.
		Instead Google analyzes the text on the page adjacent to the image, the image caption and dozens of other factors to determine the image content.

		Coinciding with Google's recent release of the 2002 End of Year Google Zeitgeist, I have put together a collection of 40 discrete Google Image searches, retrieved and archived on September 11, 2002.
		Each search word is represented by seven images (located in the top 15 of the Google Image index).
		Each image occupies two interconnecting positions simultaneously: first as an autonomous image - a painting, a piece of text, a photograph or drawing and second as a component smaller than the sum of its parts.

	Google Image Search
		I have a site www.matiklarweinart.com which has been in Google for a couple of months now, and is progressing quite well up the rankings - but image search has still not picked up any of the images.
		Since the googlebot cannot actually view images that we view, it uses the alt="" attribute along with the img tag to index images and the same criteria is applied when we search for images.
		This page: http://obviousdiversion.com/?p=100 suggests that the filename of the image is of far greater importance than any alt text and that, in fact, image search (at that time of writing - Sept 2004) was not very good at using the alt text.

		I have a page of orchid images but they are not picked up in the image search because they do not have appropriate file names.

		I've got some images that come up for high traffic searches that seem to be driven by the page on which the image resides as well.

	Grant Robinson : Montage-a-google launcher
		Montage-a-google is a simple web-based app that uses Google's image search to generate a large gridded montage of images based on keywords (search terms) entered by the user.
		Please note: Although Montage-a-google uses images retrieved using Google's image search it is in no way associated with or endorsed by Google Inc.
		It would be interesting to see what this search could reveal over time about a given topic.

	Google's new Image Search Engine
		You'd be able to feed the search engine an image and have it yield results based on pattern recognition instead of text/keywords.
		THe image search seems to me to have quite a way to go before it's viable.
		I think a keyword search situation where you get up an oversized set of results would be fine if you could then choose one image to feed back into a new search within those results for visual comparison.

		Google Random Image is a little javascript code that scans the html of the page it is on and uses that to find a matching image on Google Image Search, which is then displayed.
		So I thought, I'd load the google image result page in a 150x150 iframe and then scroll so that only the first thumbnail image is visible, but that didn't work either; you're not allowed to scroll foreign windows.

	Google Image Search has that "not so fresh" feeling? (by Jeremy Zawodny)
		According to a Slashdot story, Google's image index is quite a bit out of date.
		I could probably put you in touch with someone in business development at Yahoo's Image Search (where they have over a billion images indexed) to discuss a similar arrangement.
		Google, on the other hand, a service I dislike to some extent, does not index my images, and never did, because it has - you know what it does have - a special image indexer.

		In addition to my specific targeted vertical, I also check the broad generics for search terms as a matter of course, which in this case would be swimsuits, swimwear and bathing suits.
		The first two were "normal" SERPs each time, but for bathing suits I got two photos from Google image search right up top the first time (which lead to a framed result when clicking).
		I assume people are looking to buy swimsuits when doing searches like these, but neither of the sites I clicked on had anything to do with selecting or buying swimwear.

		I'm not suggesting that Google isn't updating Images, but if they are, they haven't gotten to the word "mom" yet.
		As long as Google is pulling so much info from the image file name, you're going to end up with wildly varying results.

		If you click on an image from search results while you’re signed into Google with history recording turned on, a thumbnail of that image then appears in your search history along with clicked document results.
		Google’s bundled Search History into their “Personalized Search” offering (which sounds awfully similar to Yahoo!’s My Web), except Google’s personalizing is based on past searches, not on your bookmarks and your friends’ bookmarks like Yahoo!.
