Maybe time for image to image search is emerging just NOW – I guess search is sill 10 blue underlined lines and could move from the DOS like experience within the next 10 years.

I just put a <a href="http://majorminer.com/search" rel="nofollow"> demo</a> up of some of the searches we can do. In particular, it uses data from a <a href="http://majorminer.com" rel="nofollow"> human computation game</a> to train "autotaggers", i.e. models of what tags sound like. It takes 20-30 good examples of a tag to train an autotagger, and we only have about 50 so far, but as more people play the game and more tags cross that threshold, we'll be able to train more autotaggers.

Dealing with generic images is a very challenging research problem. I am glad to see that Google is finally making the move. To give a bit of history to this forum - IBM's QBIC system was one of the pioneer systems back in early 1990 that can do query by image contents. Since then, more than thousands of research papers were published mainly on computer vision, image processing, information retrievals, machine learning, and some database indexing. To my observation, there are some approaches that have some degree of success, but none can claim a true victory. Over the past decade, we do see many “specialized” image/media search engines that can search large-scale image/media databases in seconds with high accuracy. These media range from medical radiology images and satellite images to genomic sequences and protein 3D structure. Two examples of powerful search could be “given a new patient's medical image, find cases with similar pathology visually and their follow up treatments.” “given an unknown protein 3D structure, find structures that are locally similar to the unknown structure so that we can predict potential functions of the new structure.” It’s a good paper!
