The Internet services leader Google has launched two experimental products it hopes will change the way users search for pictures and news.

A new feature called "similar images" uses a picture rather than text to find other matching images, and timeline presents information already available in Google News but organized and displayed chronologically, the BBC reported.

Similar Images allows users to sort through the results of an image search more easily by clicking on a "similar images" link. In other words, the query is expressed visually as an image and not text.

The Google News Timeline is the brainchild of Andy Hertzfeld, a key member of the original Apple Macintosh development team. Using Timeline, users searching for baseball scores or the Iraq War will be shown a history or articles, photographs and videos arranged by date, week, month or year. Users can also refine the search to specific magazines, newspapers or blogs. Other search possibilities include Wikipedia, movies, music or even video games.
