Live SEARCH.

Reviewed By : Manan "iMav"

There is Google.... And then there is Live! Search which, I think, is better than other more famous search engine/s !

Here's how:

This is screenshot of the search results shown by Live Search:

Now the better part:

Take your mouse over an image and you get this:

Not only that, you have a very useful toolbar on the top:

1. The slide bar allows you to adjust the thumbnail size
2. The size of the image search can be chosen as per preference too!

3. And the you have a scratch pad - a really cool feature!

4. Wide W-I-D-E Options!

Recently Live search added three new features to image search engine.
New feature is for searching faces, portraits and black and white images.
Taking your own search string which you have taken for example, try these:
jennifer aniston filter:face
jennifer aniston filter: portrait
jennifer aniston filter:bw

We are used to a particular search engine and hence use it by default. Switch to LIVE for a week and see if you like it! You wont be disappointed.

What’s new with Windows Live Toolbar 3.0? It now supports custom buttons and Smart Menus to help you get to information faster. You simply choose the links and web feeds that you would like to go become your custom buttons. For Smart Menus, you highlight the text on a Web page that you want to learn more about. Download your free Windows Live Toolbar now.

NOTE: Wait ! Before you think all innovation in LIVE search was over and done with, get ready for a surprise ! Have a look at www.tafiti.com , powered by Live. Requires installation of Silverlight; so do install this < 2MB application, if prompted to. While there, dont forget to check out the display options, search categories on LHS bottom and the search saves on RHS... And yes ... the Tree View too!
