I don't think it's that simple. When a user goes back to image search results, is it because they are unsatisfied with the result they clicked on, or are they looking for even more, hoping to compare? And when a user closes out instead of doing back, is it because they got what they wanted or because the results were so garbage they gave up? Based on my own usage of image search results I don't think you would be able to tell when I was happy with the results or when I wasn't. But you can probably tell that my usage of image search went down when it started getting shitty due to this spam.
- pfranz 6y agoWhat are your use-cases for image search? Mine are pretty straightforward; find a higher quality/uncropped version or to find the source (article, recipe, or photo set). Use case #1 I click through save and exit. Use case #2 I engage like I would for web (text) search. #1 might be confused for not finding the intended result, but could be discerned after looking a bit more. Also, if a lot of people add in "-site:pinterest.*" (or click on pinterest sites but come back, then find the intended result) that might be a hint it's not adding real value.
- wanderr 6y agoI think my use cases are pretty varied, anything from looking for pictures of a place I'm considering going hiking, looking for different views of a product I'm considering purchasing, looking for other examples of an artists art, to trying to figure out where some image originated
