Flickr new redesigned search result page
Flickr is one of the most popular app from Yahoo, but unfortunately we have not seen many improvements of this great product lately until today.. Flickr blog announces a much needed redesign of the search results page.
From Flickr blog:
The changes aim to make easier to browse through the billions of photos and videos on Flickr, and to connect to the communities that help make sense of all those photos.
Below is the search result of delicious rhubarb pie, for example.
Note the new “View” controls at the top of the page, these allow you to display the results in different sizes and formats. Both small and medium views have an ‘i’ icon on every thumbnail — click it to see more detailed information about a particular photo. We’re also doing some whiz bang stuff in the small view to take advantage of as much space as you have on your screen, just try resizing your browser to see.
On the right side of the page we try to provide a new perspective on your search. Based upon how our members are tagging their photos and participating in the Flickrverse, you’ll see links to the groups, photographers, tag clusters and places that are most closely related what you’re looking for. We hope these will occasionally provide a little extra inspiration for your search.
Lastly, we’re exposing simple summary information on the page as you refine your search. For example, try looking for Creative Commons licensed videos of dogs made after 1st January 2009 and you’ll see all that information listed above your search. Over time, we’ll bring more and more advanced features directly into the page.
