Image Search with you: Browse from billons of images on your phone.--> should be "billions" (with 2 'l's) (even if the pictures are worth thousands of words a piece) thanks!

Taking your "baseboard heater covers" example, once Brad found the right image, he could click the "link" below it which would take him to the webpage of that product. Ofcourse, you could put links with the images only if the keywords associated with the image resonate with those associated with it's webpage too. This could be extended to other format searches too like doc, pdf, etc. How about linking the image search results with the webpages (if present) of which they (the images) are a part?

One is able to build an amazing collection of visual artwork by using it and collecting images. One of my favorite things to do is to do searchs and then save the amazing artwork and photographs to my hard drive and then play them on my 42" plasma in the living room through Micrsoft's Media Center PC while music plays in the background. I've used the image searches at Google, Yahoo!, and Ask Jeeves. I find that Google's are the best in general. One thing that I like about Google is that if you search for "large images" they tend to come up with only high res images. Yahoo comes up with high res images if you use "wallpaper" as a filter but the results are much less than from Google's "large image" preference. If you use Yahoo's "large image" preference which turns out as many results as Google's, I've found that a lot of the images are of less than high res quality for display on my 42" plasma in the living room. I think one way around this might be to let the user actually set the size ranking vs. using Yahoo's pre-arragned settings where large may include some less than high res issues. Also I would like to see a "photoblog" only filter. One of the problem with image search on all of the search engines is that their is so much crap that you have to wade through. In general, Yahoo! should try to track the high quality image sites, artistic sites, etc. and offer some kind of filter that then weeds out the everyday poor quality snapshots that litters your search. You could still get everything if you wanted but to run a search of say only registered photoblogs for New York City would turn up a more interesting mixture of photos.
