Abstract

Web image search engine has become an important tool to organize digital images on the Web. However, most commercial search engines still use a list presentation while little effort has been placed on improving their usability. How to present the image search results in a more intuitive and effective way is still an open question to be carefully studied. In this demo, we present iFind, a scalable Web image search engine, in which we integrated two kinds of search result browsing interfaces. User study results have proved that our interfaces are superior to traditional interfaces.
