Image meta search

Image meta search (or image search engine) is a type of <a href="/facts/Search_engine/SRntsbz2">search engine</a> specialised on finding pictures, <a href="/facts/Raster_graphics/HkXNc8oI">images</a>, <a href="/facts/Animation/093f9nUg">animations</a> etc. Like the text search, image search is an <a href="/facts/Information_retrieval/MFSmpeNw">information retrieval</a> system designed to help to find information on the Internet and it allows the user to look for images etc. using <a href="/facts/Index_term/fRqKUggI">keywords</a> or search phrases and to receive a set of thumbnail images, sorted by relevancy.
Specialised search engines, like in the fields of image search, are among the fastest growing search services on the internet. In 2005 alone the number of image searches increased by 91% (Nielsen/NetRatings 2006-03-31).
The most common search engines today offer image search such as <a href="/facts/Google_Image_Search/fRJEAXHj">Google</a>, <a href="/facts/Yahoo/nKhTaV3M">Yahoo</a> or <a href="/facts/Bing_(search_engine)/r2pIK5HT">Bing!</a>.
