Google can now guess when you want images

Googlea

Up until recently, searching for pictures on Google meant that you had to actually maneuver your mouse over to a little "images" button either before entering a query or after seeing a few thumbnails on the results page. Well, no more of that! Google can now just guess when you want images.a

Google made some small tweaks to the Google Image search results in order to make our lives easier:a

Analysing your search query for “high image intent”, [Google] will now know when you’re searching for images and display a larger grid of images in the results without you having to head into the Image Search section.a

Additionally, taking inspiration from last year’s revamp of Google Image Search, the row of image results at the top of many results pages will now display in a tile format, with a nice ‘pop-out’ effect when you hover over them.a

As the trick to triggering the image heavier results appears to involve queries such as "cat photos" or "funny pictures," we're not really sure how much you're benefitting from this tweak. After all, an extra click or an extra word will take just about the same amount of effort and time.a
