Search by image Search Google with an image instead of text.

I’ve just spotted this when searching for no other than a “ray gun” of course 🙂

So brand new feature for me…

google now allows you to search with an image. You have a choice of uploading OR a url..

google will match the image and suggest its “best guess” along with “visually similar images” and “pages that include matching images”

It’s cool idea and of course you can see a simple way it will be used with products and mobile phones…

Here are the screen shots:

See the camera above..

When clicked on you see the following:

I then pasted the url of the google logo to see what came up, see below:

    Well I could not really dig up any photo with image search that would
    show any copyright info other tan “Images may be subject to copyright.”
    like in your illustration image above.I think it a good step
    from Google, but it would be much better if they started using IPTC
    (rather additionally to EXIF). While EXIF is 99% about image creation
    data like focal length, aperture and the rest. IPTC is the data set
    designed for image handling holding much more copyright information as
    well as other metadata that could help image search like captions,
    categories and keywords as well.

  • I would alert anyone thinking about advertising their particular enterprise having adwords ( blank ) you will get not any aid in the least. Although capable to speak to the adwords associate and if they ever e-mail anyone returning it will? become days later on together with lower along with paste responses that do not reply your particular problem.Yahoo was previously a company that have values in which aided the average person plus the small enterprise. Yahoo and google will now never jump on the phone along with you except in cases where your financial allowance is usually large numbers regarding Money every thirty days.
