BigStockPhoto.com Announces Launch of Powerful New Image Search Engine
BigStockPhoto.com, one of the world's leading microstock image sites, has announced the launch of its new search engine technology -- delivering superior search accuracy and 'lightning quick' speed.
Davis, CA (PRWEB) July 18, 2007 -- BigStockPhoto.com announced today, the launch of its powerful new search engine technology -- the first in a series of new features the stock image company plans to roll out in the coming months. BigStockPhoto's continued growth spurt over the last year and key feedback from its active community of users and contributors inspired the complete redesign of its search engine. The result: powerful and easier searches, superior result accuracy, and 'lightning quick' speed.
BigStockPhoto's new search tools allow users to easily narrow their search results and efficiently find the image they're looking for through advanced search filters. For example, users can type in keywords and then narrow their search options with filters such as: popular images, vertical or horizontal orientation, resolution, and image format -- including jpeg and/or vector. Once a user finds an image that fits their needs, they have the option of further refining the search by selecting the "see similar" and "new images" filters - and then saving any preferred images in their personal galleries.
"The needs of our users have evolved with the rapid growth of our site," said Tim Donahue, founder and CEO of BigStockPhoto.com. "Our incredible library of over 1.2 million stock images provides image buyers with the high-quality image selection they need. Now, with the introduction of our new search engine, we can balance those requirements with the need to deliver efficient and relevant search results. These usability enhancements allow BigStockPhoto users to find the perfect image -- quickly."
Site visitors can test drive the new advanced search features on the BigStockPhoto.com site:

"This is just the first of many steps we're taking to dramatically improve BigStockPhoto's user experience," said Donahue. "We're excited about our future growth opportunities and will continue to develop improved search capabilities and new site features. We know these tools are critical to the success of our community."
