Google adds search-by-style options to image search

Look for clip art and line drawings

Google has added some new options to its image search function, allowing users to search by image style, as well as by subject matter.

The search giant has already rolled out face search, that limits results to images with faces, and photo search, for those who don't want illustrations in the results, but now users have further choice.

Stating that many use the service to find clip art for presentations, diagrams for reports, and symbols and patterns for "artistic inspiration", now users can search for clip art and line drawings.

Live now, the options can be selected from the "any content" drop down in the blue title bar on any search results page, or by selecting one of the "content types" on the advanced image search page.
