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?"

    So what if pornographic images pop up? Say I search for my friend's name, and then there's porn thumbnails across the screen. Not good for those of us who use google in public.

      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.

      Ironically, the word ironically is often used incorrectly.

    ummm... i'm not getting pictures....

    me neither. I, and certainly keeleysam, feel duped and disappointed.

    The posted link is not Google though it seems genuine; its much larger home page is, in fact, a blog.

    Makes me glad to have a status bar on my browser.

    For what it's worth, the magic word is trials. Google doesn't release a new feature to everyone at once - specific subnets will see the feature first. Even I only see this with a search for 'traktor' - other searches just look the same.

    Maybe others in the /. herd can verify if they get this?
