Abstract:
Methods and systems for displaying search engine results where the file links are displayed with corresponding images of things that fall within a given category are disclosed. Object detection software can be used with a search engine to provide search results to a user that contain specific images found within the result pages (i.e. the pages of the websites returned as the results). For a given class of objects, the user can be presented with images that contain that class of object along with the result hyperlinks, allowing the user to make a more informed choice as to which hyperlink is the most appropriate search result, without being inundated with all of image files present in the result pages. For example, a search engine geared toward searching on the Internet for information about people could be augmented to show images of the people associated with each of the page results, allowing the user to see the faces of the people described in the pages before selecting the hyperlinks and visiting those pages.
