Abstract

A number of queries are submitted to the image searching mechanisms of Google, Yahoo and MSN and their results are analyzed. The analysis shows that queries which are in different forms (e.g. upper case and lower case) but have exactly the same content retrieve different images. The paper also presents a tool which takes as input a user query and based on knowledge of the linguistic characteristics of Greek produces different forms of this query. It then submits the new queries to Google and merges the recalled images.
