Google Confirms Adding New Image Search Filter Buttons To Mobile

When doing a Google Image Search on mobile, have you ever been shown large filter buttons for your image search requests?  If you have, as some already have discovered for themselves, you may wonder if they are brand new.  Well, according to Google, they are indeed new.

It seems that this feature was added earlier this summer and confirmed that this is a permanent change, and not just some test.

In order to find these special filter buttons, you need to conduct a search on your mobile phone in Google Image Search.  If you do the right kind of search like [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][wood home design], than large finger-press buttons will let you filter that search further.

As an example, in the following screen shot, Google gives me the option to see images by modern, simple, rustic, and more.

You can filter down, giving you even more options:

If you want to go back to the original image selections, you can tap on the X on the white buttons to clear those filters.
