Just recently Microsoft enabled their flagship search engine Bing with a new feature – visual search. The new Silverlight-enabled feature will allow users to browse through one of 50 specific search results (it will be expanded in the future) by means of pictures that rearrange themselves according to your query.
Searches such as “U.S. Politicians,” “NFL Teams,” and “New cars” are already on the visual search site. And, as you refine your query from one of the visual searches available, thumbnails that don’t match yours will fly off the screen, and the rest will reshuffle to fill in the blank spaces.
If you want to give it a try, be sure to install Silverlight and direct your browser here.
