Google Adds Images And Related Search Suggestions To Search Results

From Google Labs Experimental Search testing to live search results, Google has added two additions to help find what you are searching for, in the form of images and suggested related search phrases.

These features seem to based on Google previous experiments, where search results returned images and related search phrases or words that were displayed in boxes at the top of the search result pages. But to find these new search features, you need to scroll to the bottom of the results to find them.

For Webmasters looking to get their web sites listed on the top of Google's first page, adding these additions to the bottom of returned search pages will force searchers to look beyond just the first few sites listed and visit sites that normally would not be seen.

For everyday users of Google, these features can add more value by targeting and finding searches around the Internet.

Similar to how suggestions work when entering a search term in Google's search box:

A search for "dog treats" will have related search suggestions displayed at the bottom of the page, with phrases or words that you may not have thought of when searching for dog treats.

Clicking on a related search phrase will narrow your search and return additional search results from Google's index that will be more targeted to your initial search.

Using the same search phrase as above, images are also displayed helping you see if your searches….looks like what you are searching for:

Clicking on the link Image results for dog treats will search and return more images of the phrase, while clicking on the individual images will display the web site where the image was found by Google.

Hopefully the images are exactly what you are searching for!
