Some say Bing is be the best search engine for adult-themed image searches -- I wouldn't know. What I do know, however, is that Bing is the new integrated image search for Microsoft Office -- it works very well for that. With that said, Google is what I use most often. Since it is the search engine I use for text, I just go to it for images too -- it works brilliantly.
Today, Google is improving its desktop image search with a new cloud-based saving system. This mirrors the functionality found on mobile and enables a more robust way to "save" images you want to look at later. Rather than save the files locally, they are kept in the cloud -- sort of like a bookmark.
"For example, if your yard is in need of some spring re-planting, just go to your desktop, search for an image and tap the star to save your potential new flowers, bushes, or even swimming pools. When you're at the store ready to start buying, you'll be able to pull up your saved images on your phone and start building your perfect yard. You can also tag your saves to keep them organized", says Mark Colbert, Software Engineer, Google.
Colbert further says, "this feature is currently available in the US when you search for images on desktop and in your mobile browser. To try it out, make sure you’re logged into your browser with your Google Account; then you can start image searching and saving".
While users can already bookmark the images they like, and sync to mobile, this solution is far more elegant. As you can see above, users can categorize the images with tags, making them easier to find.
Of course, you can do this using a service like Dropbox too -- creating folders and saving images -- but that will be a bit more involved. Google has created a solution that should be quite easy to use.
Will you use this new feature? Tell me in the comments.
