New Search Engine Launched Today, Like.com

Cool new search engine launched yesterday that allows consumers to search for products by appearance rather than just text. When a user clicks on an image of an item, Like.com will compare that item’s shape; color and texture to millions of other similar images found on the internet and display the best matches. It looks like Like.com is initially focusing on a few shopping categories like handbags, watches, jewelry, watches and shoes; and then allows consumers to purchase directly from Amazon.com.

Just blogged it: http://www.britopian.com/blog/2006/11/08/new-visual-search-engine-launched-likecom/

interesting concept. I am curious to see how well consumers pick up on that.

 

This is reasonably impressive but it's just putting products into different search categories instead of more categories which all sites should do.

 

Looks impressive lets see how well it does. And i agree with dilute regarding the categories.

 

It sucks. I searched for games and it gave me this:
http://www.like.com/search?btnSearch=all&searchText=games

=\

 

Same with me "video games" came up with shoes as the results. That is a major problem too am I doing something wrong?

 

I typed in 'jaguar car' and it came up with 'no results found'. I like the concept but may take a while to be something I would use regularly.

 

Its a nice website and good concept, let see that how well does it progress to.

 

Its a good idea, but it needs to be developed to more than just shopping accesories. The domain is pretty sweet.

 

here is the explanation of why the search results are limited:

Nice find sixpack, that explains the current limitations.
