[Commons-l] Google's experimantal image recognition search

[Sherool]

This might slightly off topic, though if someone uses Google image search  
to track down free licensed images or something it might be usefull. Seems  
Google is experimenting with image recognition in theyr image search, so  
now you can for example limit searches to human faces only. There is no  
GUI option for it yet, but just add &imgtype=face at the end of the search  
URL to see the results. Try this search sting for example:  
<http://images.google.com/images?rls=en&q=site%3Awikimedia.org&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi&imgtype=face>

When will get get this kind of technology in the MediaWiki search? :P
