semantic image retrieval
this may already be old news for regular readers of lifehacker.com, but incase you missed it, here’s another search engine.
http://www.pixolu.de/
Pixolu is a semantic image search, which allows to refine a search by allowing users to select images that best represent their query. I tried it for some queries and it seems to do a good job, factoring in color, object shapes, size and density in images.
The two-step search-and-refine process is very interesting and represents a more natural way of information gathering. Pixolu, a more 202′ish search pays attention to recent (and older) research in information gathering and foraging.
