Image Search is now live
Posted on 29. Dec, 2009 by admin in blog
Image search is one of the extension we are most proud about. Its currently based on google’s great image search engine, though they don’t quit expose all their features on a standard API (as we all know google is is probably coming soon), but we managed a way to hook into their images’ search engine and provide you with this great tool.
So what one can do with the “Image Search” extension:
As you can see in the screen shot above their are many advanced options you may use:
Filtering by image type
- Faces Search – Search only images containing people faces. this is one of my favorite options, you can do wild things with it – see the screenshot for example
- Photos Content Search – Search for terms related to photos’ content .
- Lines art Search – Search for ‘lines art’ images.
- ClipArt Search – Search for clipart images.
- News Search – Search photos in the latest news online !
Filtering by image shape
- Wide
- Tall – for sidebar images
- Square – Great for standard ad sense banners
- Panoramic – this is great for nature and landscape image
Great extension, can you add an option to search for black&white images?
