Search Windows Live Images better with new filters

Windows live has been exceptionally good for image searches. With their sleek new UI and quick search, I had in fact preferred them to Google for searching images (only for images you see). And thanks to the team at Live! the image search has gotten even better.

They’ve added three new operators that helps you search pictures of personalities better. You can now search them and get the results sorted by

• pictures with their face ( personname filter:face )
• pictures that are portraits and ( personname filter:portrait )
• pictures that are black and white ( personname filter:bw )

This is indeed a great feature and I’m looking forward to have more improvements in this area from the Live team. In fact they’ve promised us. Until then – happy searching faces !
