Live Search Now Lets You Find the Perfect Image
Live Search announced it’s new image search function that allows you the ability to find similar images to ones that you like.
In their example on their blog they show a search result of Muhammad Ali that returns a variety of results
Hovering over an image you are given an option to ‘show similar images.’ Pick an image you like and show similar images to that image.
That’s pretty cool!
I wish I could send you a link to this but their blog provided no link to their image search function. Oh I’m sure I could find it pretty easily but I’m lazy and don’t want to have to figure it out.
So if you are listening:
Microsoft ‘Please make it easy for people to use your stuff’
TinEye Image Search
Another great image search tool is TinEye. This neat search engine allows you find similar images or what an image is by either uploading it or inputting a URL of an image.
As they put it ‘TinEye does for images what Google does for text’
I’ve used it in the past to find out what a certain image is, I highly suggest using it

Just tried the Live search similar-image service. It's actually pretty good. Have tried many similar services, mostly garbage. Hats off to Microsoft.

Try image searching with Endless Media on masterfile .com
It's real and it's very fast.
Many cool feature - many more coming soon.

I tried masterfile - their software is amazing for designers. Watch out MS.
