Abstract

Search engines usually deliver a large amount results for each topic addressed by a few (mostly 2 or 3) keywords. Thus, it is a tough work to find those terms describing the wanted content in a manner such that the search delivers the intended results already on the first result pages. In the iterative process of obtaining the desired web pages, pictures with their tremendous context information may be a big help. This contribution presents an approach to include picture processing by humans as a means for context search selection and determination in a locally working search control.
