Yahoo has introduced a new feature for its image search, that lets users refine searches based on specific locations.
Now, if you search for a place, the Yahoo Travel Image Refiner enables users to explore various points of interest related to specific travel areas including related information about these destinations, with the menu displayed on the left-hand side of the screen that points you to images of different points of interest from that location.
Now, if a user clicks on one of the points of interest, you will see an overlay of the images over your original search results with results from that particular topic, but this can easily be closed while your original results remain there.
This feature is useful considering that most of the research on travel sites is now carried out mainly online by consumers. With this sort of feature only improves the travel planning process on the web. Yahoo says the Image Search Refiner is presently available for location-specific searches, but is planning to expand this functionality to other types of image searches in the future.
