Horizontal evaluation of six major image search

Image search is also the most easily overlooked product type, because the image search is very difficult like a web search to get quality feedback quickly, in other words, the quality of the image search, experience may not be in line with their status, the from the most typical Baidu search Alexa data to see the proportion of image search after the web search, Know, Post bar ranked fourth, higher than Baidu Encyclopedia, Baidu News and video search , I hope you do not ignore the importance of image search. Horizontal comments include Baidu, Google (. com), Bing, search, Youdao, Sogou and other mainstream search engine image search, the view is biased also please forgive me.

All image search support through the independent sub domain name access, most of the use of images subdomain, Sogou use the PIC sub domain name. It should be noted that Google and Bing directly click the navigation bar will jump to the corresponding page, rather than a separate subdomain.

Most image searches use the traditional search interface, including logos, large input boxes, search buttons, and simple navigation, where Bing image search uses the same style as Bing.

Image classification refers to the user's browsing habits, the search results are categorized, finishing the final focus presented, such as beauty, famous car such as the category page, almost all of the domestic search has joined this function. Google and Bing do not have this sort of collation.

Almost all of the image search can adjust the width of the search results according to the screen width, but Youdao image search width design slightly conservative, 1366*768 right will leave a big blank.

In the resolution, I tried 1366*768, 1024x768, 800x600 three kinds of typical resolution, which Google and Youdao the best performance, I change the resolution without refreshing the page search results can be dynamically adjusted, Baidu, search, Sogou refresh search results after normal, Bing behaves poorly at the 800x600 resolution and needs to drag the horizontal scroll bar to view the search results.

In addition to Youdao image search, other image search provides the size and color screening function, but also includes photos, portrait, QQ facial features such as image filter. Baidu in the image screening features outstanding performance, but also provide a specific search results of the scene screening, for example, I search Andy Lau will give me stills, life photos, photo and other screening items.

Paging is the play of the image search, because in most cases you can't find the picture you want in the first screen, and turning the page becomes the most common operation of the image search. Bing, Google two use unlimited pull to solve this problem, remove the traditional meaning of the page to allow users to use more fluent, and Baidu, search all use asynchronous refresh, users do not need to refresh the page can perform paging operation, and the mouse focus will not have any changes, which is a good way to improve, And the Youdao and Sogou is the traditional way of paging.

In addition, Baidu and Google have joined the search function by image.

Finally a comparison of the search speed and index number, selected Guo Meimei, Xia Xinyu, 3d meat and Zen, Transformers 3 Such popular search terms, these data are for reference and can not represent the final search results.

I usually use picture search, personal experience Google than Baidu, this may have a personal biased part, but Google's disadvantage is sometimes inaccessible in China, and because its global layout can not provide more targeted functions for domestic users. From the domestic picture search, Baidu still occupies the first position, but the rising trend of Tencent search has been very obvious, including a large number of users and the continuous improvement of products. Sogou's picture search is good, and Youdao image search is already behind too much.
