INDEX STOCK IMAGERY LAUNCHES A NEW IMAGE SEARCH SYSTEM
NEW YORK – May 2005 – Index Stock Imagery, www.indexstock.com, is always striving to create a better user-friendly image search system for its customers. The new “user option panel” was launched this week to “let you control your own search.” As their email promo says: “You have the power!”
After logging into the site with an email and password, the user can search by keyword to pull up desired images. To the top right of the selections is an icon with the user’s name and “Options.” After clicking on the options, there are eight settings to choose from which will help to narrow the search to exact matches and help with visualizing layout:
- The “Search Depth” offers Exact Matches or All Matches, filtering keywords to the specification of the user.
- “Images Per Page” will allow viewing as many as your screen will scroll – 12, 24, 36, 60 and 120 images.
- “Time In Collection” will bring up All images or only the newest images, entitled Fresh.
- “Background Color” allows the images to be framed in white, black, cool grey or any of 8 colors from red to blue. It’s a great way to visualize the background of a layout.
- “Typical Use” offers two choices – All/Editorial or Ad/Marketing, which separates style and release issues.
- “Site Style” is a fun design offered only by Index, which allows the whole site to appear as usual or in the style of the Mac chrome look for those Mac addicts out there.
- “Color Adjustment” adjusts gamma and allows matching to a monitor. Choices are Darkest, Dark, Average, Light, and Lightest.
- “Caption Display” gives two options – Show Caption or Hide Caption.
These options can be left as default settings and can be changes each time the site is visited.
“It’s a new and creative design,” says Brent Phelps, Product Manager. “We are always trying to listen to the needs of our customers and give them better ways to find and enjoy our extensive image collection, whether they are in need of Editorial content or Advertising content.”
