Do you ever wish you could actually see things that you were searching for, rather than searches just returning results in word form? Riya.com has created the new wave in searching: visual search engines.
Riya 1.0, the company released the new visual search engine Like.com at the Web 2.0 convention. Like.com is a visual search engine, meaning that instead of queries returning words to describe a site, it returns results in picture form. According to the CEO of Likeness Search - the ability to search by image instead of text. Like Detail - finds items that have a specific feature you like (such as a buckle, straps, bezel, etc); Like Color - find color variants of the item you desire. Like Celebrity - find clothing, shoes and accessories similar to those worn by celebrities. Like Upload - the ability to upload a photo of your favorite item and find similar, which is coming soon. Like is currently adding over 30, 000 items and numerous merchants a day and is kicking its plans to add new categories into overdrive. Will this revolutionize the way we search? Only time will tell.
