Google Trials A9 Style Image Search

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?"

    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.

    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... feel duped

    No, no, no... that comes later. Possibly as early as tomorrow.

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