Google Pulls A Fast One: Search Engine Giant Adds Facial Recognition To Its Image Search
Submitted by MichaelVail on Wed, 05/30/2007 - 7:27pm.
Google has silently added face recognition abilities to its image search. It is now possible to search for images that only contain faces by appending the "&imgtype=face" query string onto the end of a search URL.

As well, adding on "&imgtype=news" displays only images that are associated with news stories.

But a search for a reporter's name might produce that same photograph if it had accompanied an article he had written.
