Microsoft updated Bing’s image search results pages with larger thumbnails and less white-space earlier this year and today, the company is taking this one step further by also introdcing a ew way to explore imagery on Bing.
Instead of loading the actual page with the image after you click on a
thumbnail, Bing now brings up a large image viewer that, as the company
says, places “the image center stage.”
The image itself does indeed take up most of the screen, with a photo
strip of other search results at the bottom and a list of recommended
searches in the right sidebar. The actual site the photo comes from has
now been relegated to a thumbnail in the bottom right corner. To go the
site the photo originated on, users have to click on the site’s
thumbnail. While site owners may not love this feature, it is actually a
step up from the old system that just featured a link.
One
nice feature here is that you can use your arrow keys to navigate
between the various images on the photo strip. It’s also quite
remarkable how fast the experience is. As Microsoft notes, the Bing team
rebuilt the viewer “from the ground up focusing on speed improvements
so you can see a picture immediately, without wasting time waiting for
the page to load.”
The new image search experience also dims the background to make
viewing images easier on the eyes and offers a full-screen mode for
viewing the most interesting images up close.
