Image Search Preview Page Overhaul
We’ve revamped the Yahoo! Image Search preview page to make it a lot easier to use. Now, when you click on an image from the image search results page, the top bar opens to reveal a richer and sleeker interface that displays a larger view of the image, more search results, and popular related searches.
Our new image preview page features:
• A search box with search assistance to let you quickly and easily search for more images.
• More image search results (so you don’t have to hit the back button to see your other options).
• Suggestions based on queries from other users making similar searches.

Old Image Search preview page:
Try searching for images of beautiful sunsets, faraway places (Rome, anyone?), or hot celebs like Brad Pitt. Our new image search results preview page will help you find what you’re looking for – maybe you’ll even discover something new.

Yahoo! Image Search
Videos and images are my favorite aspect of the Internet, plus all of the inter-connectivity and link sharing. Yahooooooooo!
Superb! Thanks.
Sounds like a definate improvement. The richer the content the better the web experience. Robert Carl Parisien Natick MA. Especially when it comes to search engines.
I hate your new image search preview and want the old one back.
Ultimately this would be a pretty useful feature if it is eventually implemented.
When is this coming to internationals? (I’m in AU and I would love to see this on http://au.images.search.yahoo.com)
nice
gather your PhD and add a search via image proximity ( find images that looks close to an input image )

That’s backward… How about keeping less space for your header, and more space for the original page?
Your change has the header much more elegant than before, I admit, but it’s also much much bigger, making the result less useful and making it harder to see the original page (I can click to just open the source page, but previously I didn’t have to, now I practically do)
Wow, this will add whole new dimension to search engine optimization. For example, can you imagine trying to optimize broader ideas like a “University”, or intangible concepts “like wealth”, or strange things like the Mikothang. This is all just a part of the technological revolution I guess.
It definitely looks better. But the header should be a bit smaller. Spread the pics to right, keep only one row.
This looks so much better than the previous image search preview, kudos to Yahoo. Excellent work.
but the ultimate responsibility for whether or not the service survives long enough to become
I hate it it takes up too much space that doent even allow u to c the image you wanted n then going back to ur results is so time consuming haveing to close the box and then seeing the image then going back i hate it i would love to c if there is a way to remove it
This is a lot better than the last image search preview. I think the header style used was a great idea; provides you with a larger and more detailed image. Great for the user, good work!
This is a fantastic feature. It makes the Google image preview look like preschool programming.
It looks that Yahoo has done some very nice job in image search and the most important is the image search algorithm itself!
I like your image search preview. It ’s very cool.
Cosmetically and functionally, this absolutely wonderful. Again Yahoo outdoes Google. If only people would default to what actually works better…
