Google is testing the grouping of images

Google Labs is testing its new search service image. Google Image Swirl likes to present the images to open package in a constellation.

Google announced the launch of an experimental feature for its search service image. Accessible via the Labs, Google Image Swirl together after entering a search query, the images obtained similar results. To do this, Google Swirl which is marked by Adobe Flash technology, uses technology developed for similar images and Picasa with facial recognition.

After clicking on a proposed set of images in the results page, the second effect Google Image Swirl with the opening of a sort of constellation of images "where the user can go digging and browse subgroups. A concept that Google has already introduced last May with Wonder Wheel in the options panel to search.

For example, Google gives the case a query on Washington. The results page offers groups of images in connection with the White House, former U.S. President or the actor Denzel Washington.

Google Image Swirl is probably very visual, but perhaps a little unsettling. This feature is for now limited to 200 000 applications.
