Google launches Swirl for easy image search

Google has launched a new tool called 'Swirl', which will help users to find images in an easier way. The tool automatically groups similar images into categories presented on results pages. "What Image Swirl does is - it automatically organizes image search results into groups and sub-groups. It's not just the face, the color, the visual features of the images; we look inside the image and ask how they relate to each other on a pixel level," said Aparna Chennapragada, Google Product Manager, to AFP.

Image Swirl currently works for more than 200,000 queries and we plan to include more queries in the future. Available queries will auto-complete as you start to type in the search box, similar to Google Suggest.
