In an official blog on Tuesday, Internet search giant Google announced a few useful updates to the popular Google Image Search; thereby equipping it with the technology that boasts the ability to view up to 1,000 images per page.

The newly-announced tweaks mark Google’s attempt to enhance Google Image Search, which has grown rapidly from a rather small index of some 250 million images when it launched in 2001 to over 10 billion at present.

Most of the new image search features, introduced via a blog post by Google Images’ product manager Nate Smith, have apparently been borrowed from Microsoft’s May-last-year-launched Bing search engine.

The most noteworthy, Bing-like, new feature of the upgrade is called “instant scrolling”, which now allows images to be viewed in one continuous scroll, in place of the earlier viewing of a static page of thumbnail images, and then having to a link at the bottom of the page to see more images. 

The new “instant scrolling” feature will essentially unfold as many as 1,000 images on a single scrolling page; giving the users the advantage to scroll between images with standard Web keyboard shorts like “Page Up” and “Page Down.”

As a result of the new capabilities, a search for images on Google will display a much denser tile layout than Bing, with different-sized images best fitting their original proportions.
