Bing Pops With Visual Search – TechCrunch
September 15, 2009 – 7:25 am[Always useful for a designer, Microsoft's Bing browser unveils it's brand spanking new visual search feature but only if you're set as a U.S. user, and you'll also need to download and install Silverlight... so just go to bing.com/worldwide and set your country as United States. Save the settings and you will then be able to enjoy the visual search feature of Bing at bing.com/visualsearch...]
For instance, if you type in “dog breeds,” it organizes them for you in a grid of images that you can scroll through using a slider on the right. When you hover over a particular image, it enters the name of that dog breed in the search box. And you can re-order the image results by size, breed, exercise needs, and Bing popularity.
There are more than 100 visual galleries ranging from movies, books, and cars to products, animals, and sports teams. The sorting categories change each time. So for movies, you can filter by release date, title, or rating. Cars can be sorted visually by make, price or mileage.
