New Delhi: Search giant Google has just unveiled a new look for Google Image
that places a premium on metadata visibility, speed and slick looks.
After gathering feedback from both users and webmasters,
Google redesigned its image search to feature relevant information right next
to images and speed load times by no longer loading source pages behind
selected graphics.
“It is based on feedback from both users and webmasters, company's
associate product manager,” Hongyi Li,
said in a blog post adding the fact that company has redesigned Google images.
Mountain View designed the new layout with keyboard surfing
in mind, to boot. The new UI isn't available across the board quite yet, but
the search titan says folks will start to see the refreshed UI in the next few
days.
The redesigned Google Image page will be quicker and more
reliable than the current version one, the post claimed. The images will soon
be displayed in an inline panel and will be accompanied by the associated
metadata and key information.
“Users ‘will be able to quickly flip through a set of images
by using the keyboard. If you want to go back to browsing other search results,
just scroll down and pick up right where you left off, “, Hongyi Li said in the
post on the official Google Webmaster blog.
If blog’s post to be believed, important information about
any particular image, such as its size, name of the domain hosting it and title
of host page, will appear next to the image.
Moreover, the domain name will become clickable once the
redesigned image search goes live. He also said, "We also added a new
button to visit the page the image is hosted on. This means that there are now
four clickable targets to the source page instead of just two."
With this update, Google has done away with the policy of
loading the source page of an image in an iframe, which optimises the user
experience. This update will bring Google Images for desktops closer to its
tablet counterpart.
