msn search

I'm not a big fan of MS products usually. I use Apple and Google software mostly. But I have to admit msn's image search blows the competition away. It has so many cool features, such as:

  • Lightbox (called Scratchpad by MS)

  • Dynamic resizing of thumbnails

  • Details of thumbnail on hover

  • Easy refinement of search terms (size, orientation, color, style, face)

  • Endlessly scrolling page (like Google Reader)

  • You can give msn feedback on the images (not sure how useful this is)

I think all these make image search much faster and easier than doing the same with Google or Yahoo! Congrats MS! :)

Also, check out their video search, the videos start playing in a thumbnail on hover! WOW!

Even better, search Google, MSN, Yahoo and Ask all at the same time. Search for data or images.
