'Similar Images' now part of Google image search
Published: 28 Oct 2009 09:09 GMT
Google on Tuesday announced that its similar-images feature is now a standard part of the company's image-search technology.
The feature was originally launched in late April, alongside the visual-news timeline, as a way for users to find images that share certain visual similarities with those in Google Images search results. This means you could do a search for 'ice cube' and Google's results would reveal images of the frozen chunks of water and the popular West Coast rapper, all without you having to change your original search term.
Google continues to host a dedicated Similar Images search page, which provides identical results to what is now found in the standard version of Google Images search. This is likely to remain, as has been the case for sites of other Google Labs graduates, such as Google Transit (now a part of Maps) and Google Suggest.
