Yahoo! has added a ‘travel image refiner’ to image search queries for specific destinations, which, in their own words, allows you to “take a virtual tour of popular points of interest when you search for a destination in Yahoo! Image Search.”

A query for ‘Las ’ on Yahoo’s image search, as you can see above, shows up a sidebar on the left which links to categorized collections of the most popular places and attractions in Sin City.

A blog post on the Yahoo! Search blog, where this tweak was announced, says that “The Yahoo! Image Search refiner is currently available for location-specific searches, but we are planning to expand this capability to other types of image searches as well.”

While ’s image search does not a similar refining feature (as yet), they do it Maps, where if you search for a specific destination or address, you get results on the left sidebar somewhat similar to Yahoo’s refiner.

Shouldn’t take too long for to extend this offering to image search – if they feel the need to do so. Also, in case you’re wondering, Yahoo! launched this feature before the Microsoft-Yahoo search partnership deal was made public. So it’s possible that this could fizzle out, but on merit – it’s a good thing for image search.
