New Visual Search Engine Launched, Like.com
Nov 8, 2006 Michael Brito
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.
Some cool, interactive tools that Like.com offers are the following:
- An interactive color palette that users can slide to find matches based on color
- A slider that allows users to search within a price range
- A customization tool that allows users to adjust what is most important in the search results (color, shape and pattern)
- A tool that allows users to drag a box over an image to focus the search on that specific area of the image

Brito...thanks for the tip. I went to their site and don't like it at all. Perhaps, it's the actual design/layout/creative. THe functionality was impressive, but that's about it.
