Title: Google's Image Search is more limited than its text search
Post by: EvilAndrew on 2005-11-13T20:52:51-06:00 (Sunday)
I discovered something interesting about Google's search results.  The regular Google text search results include pages that have â€Ã...“?â€Ã, strings in them but the Google image search does not.

For example this search (Ross Mead (http://www.google.com/search?svnum=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=ross%20mead&sa=N&tab=iw)) points to this page www.cs.siue.edu/news/story.aspx?StoryID=200506270 (http://www.cs.siue.edu/news/story.aspx?StoryID=200506270).  However the same search (http://images.google.com/images?svnum=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=ross%20mead&sa=N&tab=wi) on Google Images misses all the pictures on the story page and only shows the ones that were on the preview-page.  To solve this problem I have posed a page without the question mark that has all the photos.  We will see if this trick works.

The new picture page is here SIUE CS News Pictures Page (http://www.cs.siue.edu/news/images/)

LOL!!!  I'm just more interested in why you were looking for photos of me on the internet!?! :-P  Just kiddin'!

I had noticed similar things like that in the past when I was reading my daily online comic.  If I did a search on the Google image search, the comic would not pop up.  This (or something related) may be the cause...

Good to know! :-D

I used you because I like pictures 3 and 4 in your search. ;)

Did you mean "...TouchÃÆ'Ã,©..." or is this some word that I do not know.
