New Image Search Parameters for Google

On 19th December 2008, Google announced that it has made it a little easier to refine image searches.

Until now, if you entered a search term in Google Images you would get all kinds of images including photographs, drawings, paintings, and clip art.

Now users can refine those results by selecting...

  • "faces,"
  • lip art,"
  • "line drawings,"
  • "photo content," or
  • "news content"

...from a drop down menu.
