Help : When
learning how best to use the "Training Examples", I recommend viewing the Help
page for explanations of the features.
Most images you click on have not been queries before. The search will ask you which image provided is
closest to your desired image. It will then (supposedly) take that into account. In the Design Document it says
"User feedback is also integrated in the ranking refinement."
A wide variety of interesting images. The "Random" displays are fun because you
get some bizzare images. Could be used as a good brainstorming tool.
What did you find?
