[0012] overview

[0013] Conventional techniques for performing searches can be limited when encountering different types of content. For example, conventional techniques for searching the web may provide difficult-to-decipher search results when asked to search for a particular image.

[0014] Describe image search techniques. In one or more implementations, search techniques that may help distinguish between different types of images are employed. For example, a search query may be received that may relate to different people, places or events. Conventional image search techniques may clutter the results when encountering such situations, such that it may be difficult for a user to locate a particular image of interest. In this example, however, clustering can be employed to form groupings of images based on similarity. These groupings can then be used as a basis for ranking search results, thereby increasing the likelihood that a user can locate a particular image of in...

Abstract

Image search techniques are described. In one or more implementations, images in a search result are ordered based at least in part on similarity of the images, one to another. The search result having the ordered images is provided in response to a search request.

Description

Background technique [0001] Users can interact with search engines to obtain search results for a wide variety of content. However, conventional techniques for providing search results can become limited when encountering different types of content. For example, traditional search results include links to websites with short text descriptions. These search results are typically provided in response to keywords in the search request. However, the functionality of these conventional techniques may be limited relative to other types of content, such as images. Contents of the invention [0002] Describe image search techniques. In one or more implementations, the images in the search results are ordered one to another based at least in part on similarity of the images. In response to a search request, search results with ranked images are provided. [0003] In one or more implementations, a search request is received with at least one item indicating at least two or more d...
