Google Labs has introduced a new feature to help narrow down image search results - "similar images".

The example given is that searching for "jaguar" will bring users results of both the cat and the car.

Clicking the "similar images" option under either the cat or the car will rejig the results to what the searcher was seeking.

Hit play now on the slightly stilted official Google vid that explains this - and more - in further detail.
