The new feature shows you pretty Silverlight-powered fly-in thumbnail images for only 50 specific search results (it will be expanded in the future), such as “Digital cameras,” “New cars,” “MLB players,” and “Top songs.” As you refine a query from one of the 50 visual searches available, thumbnails that don’t match your query anymore fly off screen, and the rest reshuffle to fill in the blank spaces.
The Visual Search feature showcases the real value of having a search engine that blends structured data into its results. Google has structured data, too. (Try searching for the title of a movie that’s currently playing in theaters). But Bing pushes it further. In travel, sports, and product reviews, for example, Bing is extremely aggressive in displaying structured data. Bing also has Powerset technology (it acquired the company in 2008) for analyzing Wikipedia content.
