Abstract:
Techniques and technologies for providing images for search queries are described. In at least some embodiments, a system includes a scraping query component, a search component, and a search results analysis component. The scraping query component provides a scrape query based on textual information associated with an entity of interest. The search component conducts an electronic search via one or more networks to obtain search results based at least partially on the scrape query, the search results including at least a search result image and image metadata associated with the search result image. The search results analysis component determines a similarity between at least part of the image metadata associated with the search result image and at least part of the textual information associated with the entity of interest, and determines whether to store, provide, or discard the search result image based at least partially on the determined similarity.
