Possibilities of search in pictures on Yandex
In the past months, the Yandex.Kartinok team has not ceased to please its audience with new functionality. And, judging by the statistics, the users liked the improvements. In this post we want to conduct a kind of inventory - to collect in one place information about all significant changes over the past six months.
After launching the duplicate search in Images, you can view large copies of the images found.
It is interesting that, judging by the messages of people in blogs and forums, this functionality is also used by the authors of photos to search for sites that host their work.
In addition, in the Pictures, the ability to view all found images in a single tape was added to the traditional page listing, scrolling it with the mouse wheel. New pictures are loaded into the tape automatically, as you scroll through, and now all the output is available in one window, without reloading the page.

The convenience of the new list is also confirmed by statistics - about a quarter of all users of the service already use it exclusively for viewing search results.
Sometimes there is some kind of vague image in the head that you want to find, but it is not clear how to describe it correctly with words? Now precisely formulate the request will help the algorithm of selection of associations, based on the collective subconscious of other users.
If there is a desire to “postpone” a few pictures somewhere in order to be able to return to them later, then now all you need to do is click on the “Save to My Finds” link on the image viewing page. And above - in the header - there is a link to the list of your finds.
And, of course, mobile users are not forgotten. We already wrote that they launched a mobile image search with automatic resize of found images to fit the screen.
Together with all of the above, work is continuously being conducted to increase the quality of the search. Several original solutions were introduced, after which the search accuracy improved by tens of percent. In addition, among all the relevant pictures, the ranking algorithm always tries to choose the most pleasant for perception. As a result, more and more users go to the service in order to simply admire the issue. Judge for yourself: requests like tulips , autumn and water can be permanently chained to the monitor.
And finally, we want to ask all Yandex.Kartinok users - what kind of functionality would you like to have on the service? And what of the existing you like and what does not? Your feedback and opinions are very important to us for the further development of the service!
