behind-the-scene technical aspect are not difficult to realize (either google image API, which is deprecated, or parse the result of http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1920&bih=978&q=apple&oq=apple http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=h... and get the first image url after a predefined string anchor, say <span class=rg_ctlv>), but the idea to simplify input and output is brilliant.
To deal with not-so-good image search result:
since google image search is presenting the result in a thumbnail group, it might be worthwhile to look into their ranking scheme for the result. It might be that the first one (on the top left) is not the most relevant result. It won't shock me if google ranked the relevance of result from center to peripheral. In the end that's how we look at a pile of images--we tend to start from the middle. Try a few examples, from the ones I tried the middle row middle column image is much more relevant than the top left result.
just my two cents.
- folkster 15y agoVery nice observation!
- MetalMASK 15y agoI take that since your website didn't state any call limit, you must be using the second method (parsing google image result page). Give user option to get more photo (in ways like: /1, /2) as the index of result page. Or even randomize the result (provide an option to random deliver the result, so same call doesn't result in the same image) might serve the user good. lots of ideas.
- folkster 15y agoThanks for your ideas. In fact it's using the image search api and I think I would have implemented social voting to replace search before the limit runs out (if any).
- evolution 15y agois it allowed by google to parse search result page?
