BING REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH UPDATE

It will be interesting to see what else Bing and Getty have to offer as this latest update is expected to roll out over the next coming weeks. The wording is somewhat vague, which leads one to believe (perhaps) more could have been done, but baby steps are still steps.

вЂњEven before you scroll down, in the middle of the bottom bar, youвЂ™ll now see the most relevant description of the image that we can find on the web to help you learn more about it.вЂќ Just use a photo as a sample query to find a similar picture from all around the web. Users can search by Image to find out if someone has used your pictures without your permission or you can use it to find the source of an image. They also suggest the update will make it easier for users to learn more information about an image, in case they may want to вЂњbuy a poster of the scenery.вЂќ Reverse image search can be helpful to find an image with better angles and resolutions. ItвЂ™s certainly not new technology, but having it built into the search engine may be a nice feature to have.ДЄs for helping with copyright, Bing will still provideВ the source page and image metadata with each image search. You can test drive the improved feature, here. While many of the improvements announced in BingвЂ™s latest press release revolve around purchasing products, they are also slowly adding in some reverse image search capabilities, making it easy for users to quickly identify where a specific image has been used on the web.

These improvements are aimed at raising awareness to copyright and Creative Common laws, with the hopes they will reduce infringement cases. Delete everything except the base URL, then do the search. Answer (1 of 2): Since the images provided for a reverse image search arent publicly available, theyre in temporary storage, they cannot be publicly searched. Stemming from the partnership, Bing has also announced several improvements in the search engineвЂ™s image search capabilities. Our technology teams will work together to create beautiful, engaging applications and services for Microsoft users with licensed content and attribution for photographers and other content creators.вЂќ вЂњWith our new partnership, Microsoft will use Getty ImagesвЂ™ latest API innovations and our award-winning visual content to take search experiences to a new level. In a press release relating to the partnership, Getty Images Senior VP of Business Development Craig Peters explained: Now, seven months later, the two have announced a partnership which both companies hope will provide Bing users with вЂњimage richвЂќ content and internet browsing. It appears internet search engine Bing and Getty Images have come a long way since Getty filed a lawsuit against Bing last year, accusing Bing of a вЂњmassive infringementвЂќ.
