So you’re an avid image searcher. On Yahoo! Image Search, you caught a glimpse of Michael Jackson’s trial, dreamt of your summer Yosemite camping trip, and scoped out the latest playstation psp to see what the craze is all about.
Ever wonder what other people are searching for on Image Search?
Wonder no more: You can now peek into the hearts and minds of fellow searchers on the image search homepage. In our “Popular Image Searches” module, you’ll find image search terms that are commanding the most attention, topics that are likely to strike your fancy as well. Think of it as the TV guide for image search-look up recent favorites, including batman comic, land art, and fushigi. (You can try this also on video search.)
As an aside, the size/color toggle that a number of you had previously requested is now up on the image results page. Check it out, and keep the great feedback coming!

The switching on/off of the popular searches box really should be handled using CSS/JScript rather than re-loading the page.
All it needs is two DIVs and a JScript function to hide/show the DIVs.
Color and size search filtering is very nice, and the popular searches is good too!
I know it’s hot here but why are so many people doing image searches for electric fan! :-)
I am sure you guys have an image bot that searches for your images – what is the name of the bot? I haven’t seen it in my server logs. thanks,s
I’ve made a Greasemonkey script to clean up the search.yahoo.com front page, and I thought I’d let you know what it removes:
- the grey bar at the top of the page
- the “Try My Web BETA” ad
- the “[Show Mail - Show News]” stuff
Thanks for useful blog
