Yahoo Image Search Breaks a Billion

Yahoo announced last week on the Yahoo Search Blog that Yahoo Images search ( http://images.search.yahoo.com ) now has over a billion images. Google Image Search, for those of you playing along at home, counts itself as having something over 880 million images.

Yahoo's Image Search interface is very basic, almost Googlesque -- and does it strike anyone else as funny that the more people get broadband, the starker search interfaces get? Anyway, there's an advanced search that allows you to filter by size, type, color, and domain. And yes, there's a filter.

A search for "Nintendo DS" got 3,421 results. Results include thumbnails (large thumbnails), image size (in both pixel and k), and URL of the original results.
