With the increasing competition around , and providing the consumers with latest ( or near to LIVE ) search results, Google introduced “Option Panel” in the search page. With the help of this option panel, you can filter the results for Videos, Reviews or Time.
Google promised that these options will be extended to other Google services soon, and hence they have rolled the similar kind of option panel for Google Images too.
With the availability of option panel , you would be able to filter the images with the following options :
Filter the results based on size
However filtering by size was available before, but now include extra options to provide an Exact Size and Size larger than. Now you can search icons too
- Medim

Filter the results based on Type
The options included are
- Face

I highly rely on Google image search for my blog posts , and am sure with the inclusion of these options, this service is now become even better. No matter what Microsoft and Yahoo come up with, I am gonna stick to Google .
