Cool Google URL hack..

Even though the article states that this isn’t official yet, I can bet if Google does it’s market research, they will find people wanting this feature. I think there probably are other little hidden tricks within Google searching. One thing I like about a computer doing my search, even though it can get it wrong a lot of the times, it seems to bring back more results.

Now some people will argue that they’d rather see less results, but if I am searching for something I’d rather see more options. Now a lot may be totally off the mark, and that is fine in my opinion. If you are doing problem solving type of searches, it’s better to have more data then less.

Now this human face recognition thing looks really cool. Here is how you do it

This feature is not in general release yet, but you can play with it. Here’s how: Do an image search. For example, try a search on “CNET.” You’ll see a lot of pictures of products, buildings, and screenshots. Now go into the address bar and stick this on the end of the URL: &imgtype=face. Go to that URL and you’ll see just CNET image search results of people.

You can also search for news results: Append &imgtype=news.

This isn’t an official Google search feature yet, which is why you need to hack the URL to see it.

Technically Speaking, I think this will be something that Google implements officially very soon.
