Images are searched for in web search engines more frequently than any other content type except basic text. "People want to find pictures," says Chris Sherman, executive editor of Searchwise. However, he adds, "image search in general is pretty bad." Right now, searching for an image relies on text, whether in the name of the image or somewhere in a description, which means the searcher is dependent on how an image is labeled. Search engines cannot "see" an image and report back based on description.
