Smart Image Searches Come to Microsoft Search with Bing Visual Search
Little by little the search engines have been improving in capabilities and performance and if we all keep Google in mind, the great world dominator in this regard, from Redmond they want to steal little by little ground for who knows if One day I'll end up eating his toast. They have it difficult, but with Bing the chosen path is the correct one, at least to try
And the fact is that the Microsoft search engine has always been characterized by its good performance and by adding interesting functionalities with successive and permanent updates. And that's what you've achieved now with the active image search.
And we are talking about an improvement that came to Bing on June 1 but that has been available in Spain for a few hours. A function that allows you to search for objects within images that goes by the name of Bing Visual Search.
This is improving the search engine's ability to offer the most similar results to the searches made by users. A system that will work in such a way that we will be able to search for an image as we have always done and when it is found, it will allow us to select an area of it in which we want to perform a new search.
In this way the system is in charge of analyzing that image and searching for those objects related to the object of our navigation through the network. This is the case of a living room, whose limited image is that of a sofa with cushions.In this case, the system will search within that image for the cushions and will display images related to the object or objects in which our interest resides.
It is a first step to allow in the future thanks to Bing Visual Search to be able to carry out searches without having to delimit the image around themEven being able to directly access the purchase of the desired objects. Bing Visual Search is a function that is already available both in the search engine and on mobile devices and we only have to mark the area that we want to analyze in a photo so that the system returns the results obtained. _Do you find this new feature useful?_
