Facesaerch.com uses Apple's “Cover Flow” interface used in iTunes and in iPhones. You can search and browse images in an efficient manner.

When you search celebrities or persons in Google images, you will get mixed search results with or without faces. In some other cases like Digital Inspiration points out when you search for “Crow” in Google Images, you will get images of “crow” bird and singer “Sheryl Crow”.

But if you just want to just look for faces, then you can try this simple technique by adding imgtype=face at the end of Google search results.

For example if you are trying to search Ana Ivanovic, a rising tennis star in Google, you will type the following:

http://images.google.com/images?q=Ana+Ivanovic

You will still see many images of Ana Ivanovic but if you add &imgtype=face at the end like below, Google will restrict it to just face images of Ana Ivanovic.

http://images.google.com/images?q=Ana+Ivanovic&imgtype=face

Similarly you can try others like Daniel Craig, George Clooney, and Audrey Hepburn and so on.

But remembering this code may be a problem to some, that is where Facesaerch.com comes into picture. It uses Apple’s “Cover Flow” design, where users can browse album pictures in a free flow manner in iTunes, iPhones and iPod Touch.

If you do the same above face search for Ana Ivanovic in Facesaerch.com, you will see a much better alternative than what Google provides. You can see it here.

You can then browse images very easily.

It has a unique misspelled name, probably they couldn’t get the domain Facesearch.com. The above Face Search tool uses Protoflow which is a JavaScript library that emulates the Cover Flow effect in a web browser.

There is another unique image search tool called “Tag Galaxy” you can find faces and many more. You can also look for flowers, animals, and all sorts of things. It has a unique search interface and searches the web using Flickr API.

Another unique use in face search is it helps to identify whether the person is male or female. You can also do this search in Facebook, when you are not sure whether to address the person Mr. or Miss especially with Asian names.
