In een persbericht van Google wordt bevestigd dat Google Images is vernieuwd. De index bevat nu 1,1 miljard plaatjes. Bovendien, en dat was al eens gesignaleerd, worden nu bij relevante zoekopdrachten ook plaatjes getoond.
In addition, Google released a new feature that displays images from Google Image Search above Google web search results when they’re relevant to users’ search queries. 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. Users may also click on the “Image Results” link to see the complete Google Image Search results page for that query.
