You're probably familiar with Yahoo Search Assist. It's their version of Google Suggest, even though it
The example they give is a query for roses, which brings up suggestions for red roses, Guns N' Roses, black roses, etc. So it brings up thumbnails for the first few of these terms as well (as illustrated below).
It is unknown when this new feature will be complete, but I would assume that it won't be too long. Once it does, it should be an eye-catching feature for Yahoo Image Search users if nothing else.
Will this have a tremendous impact on the way people search for images? Probably not. I don't need a search engine to show me the difference between Axl Rose and a black flower, and if I wanted pictures of Guns N' Roses, I'd probably just search for Guns N' Roses, but I suppose its a nifty enough feature. I wouldn't expect it to sway many users away from Google, however. Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if Google followed suit and implemented a similar feature in the future.
