It was released for testing the use of Google‘s image search Swirl, a tool that allows you to search for images with words, and from a given selection in the results, opens a tree-like figures, helping in the search.
The search for images has never been an easy task. The known Google Images service has its relevance, but it is not precise and can take a while to find the desired figure.
To make life easier for the users, Google launched Google Swirl, an interface for image search, part of Google Labs. According to the website TechTree, the application, still in its experimental displays the results of a search in a grid with 12 miniatures, representing the most relevant, according to the search term.
Clicking on any of the 12 thumbnails, the page displays a large circle with the selected image, connected to other small figures less relevant and that have some relation to the bigger picture. Moreover, there is a connection with a smaller circle that leads to the first groups displayed.
It is precisely this mixture of images and circular references that gives its name to the tool, Swirl. Although still limited, there is already a lot of terms available for consultation.
