Google Trials A9 Style Image Search

Posted by samzenpus on from the be-careful-what-you-search-for dept.

Grugnog writes "Google has started including images from it's image search on the main search page. This is similar to Amazon's A9 search engine. With Google kicking off Google Print (A9's other specialty) could A9 become redundant?"

  1. A9 Seems Redundant Already by filmmaker · · Score: 3, Funny

    With Google kicking off Google Print (A9's other specialty) could A9 become redundant?"

    Wasn't it always? I spent some time on A9 one day -- liked the inline images -- but overall wasn't impressed. I'm sure there are dozens of handy, idiosyncratic features I missed that I'll be informed of momentarily, but my first impression was "blah."

    I'd like to see more mixing of results onto a single page though. Seeing the first few images and the first few Froogle results would be a nice addition.

    Does Amazon have a patent on any of this? After all, they do have the "one-click" patent...

    Tried searching "pussy", got no pics. Lame joke. Mod parent down to hell.

  4. Strange... by bergeron76 · · Score: 3, Funny

    I changed "Traktor" to read "Upskirt" and I got a 404 page.

    I hope google doesn't make this new behaviour permanent.

    Don't think that a small group of dedicated individuals can't change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.

    The girls' names usually led to porn sites. Come to think of it, that must be have been kind of hurtful when the girls see how they are just seen as sex objects

    Give it up, berk. There are no girls here on slashdot, so that fake sensitivity crap will get you nowhere.

    I wonder if they'll ever have pictures for a search for tits?

    i'm happy that you have a status bar.

    Funniest phrase I've ever heard. Shall be sig'd any second now.

    however, the posted link did not claim to be google, it's a link to a screenshot of someone getting those results. likely it is being tested, or only rolled out on some regional varieties of google.

    Understood. I just don't want to be phished or something like that. I hope we all see this in Google soon.

  9. It'll give goatse search a kick in the rear by Linuxathome · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm sure I'm not the first person to bet that goatse.cx will increasingly be ruining young minds when google image results is truly implemented in the main search page.
