Live Search Services'
Images: the Live Search image database is no longer Picsearch. Instead, Live
Image Search uses Microsoft's own proprietary image database. Images are
displayed as thumbnails (small versions of the original images), and the user can
resize the thumbnails either using the slider or the dropdown "all image size" menu.
One of the other changes to image search is the addition of a Scratchpad, which lets
users drag and drop images onto a collection of images on the right-hand size of the
screen. At this time, you do not have to have an account with Live in order to retrieve
your image collections (they are retrieved based upon a cookie set by Live). When
you mouse over an image, it zooms toa slightly larger size and moves toward the
center and a box appears that shows the image source and size, and a link to the
page where the image resides. If you click on the link, the linked page appears on
the right with a "show image" in the top left corner. At present there are no advanced
search options for images.
