Changes to Google’s Image Search

If you’ve tried a Google image search over the past week, you might have noticed some changes. Google recently launched a “new dense tiled layout,” with larger thumbnails and the ability to scroll through up to 1,000 images on a single page. If you click on a thumbnail, you’re now brought to a “hover pane,” showing the image as it “hovers” above the original website (and thus how the image might look in its original context).

There are other less visible changes, too: more sophisticated technology powers both the “similar images” tool and “similar colors” tool. You can read more about these changes on the Official Google Blog.

  1. Whatever they did to the Google Images search results pag isn’t working for me.

    I see a reported 1320 images found but only about 12 are displayed. Nowhere are there scroll bars or navigational links to be seen.

    Sorry, this dinosaur liked it better the old way.
