Swisscows integrates image search

Following the successful launch of Swisscows eight weeks ago, the search engine is launching its image search. Functions that are not available on any other search engine have been incorporated, according to a press release issued on Wednesday.

To make the search more effective, it offers the option of refining the results at the top and searching according to specific criteria such as layout, size, color and type. The images are displayed as thumbnails on the page. When users move the mouse over an image, three functions are displayed: In addition to the direct link, there is a preview function and the option to save the image as a favorite. The selected images appear at the bottom of the page. This eliminates the need to open multiple windows.

Another new feature of Swisscows is the ability to select specific regions. This allows search results to be limited to a specific country or region.

Swisscows has revised the design and optimized the mobile version. The user now has access to all functions on all devices. The term cloud simplifies searches on mobile devices. The innovations mentioned above will initially be introduced for the desktop and mobile versions. They are in progress for the Android and iOS app.

In contrast to the well-known search engines, Swisscows does not store any user data, writes the company. The servers are located in Switzerland and guarantee data security.
