Image-oriented search eg Google Image Swirl. (née ‘09, now defunct)

Filtering by concept or context, rather than keyword, eg:

- Similarity: search and filtering based on object or set of objects
- Time: from date-based constraints to searching by timeline and provenance.
- Pattern: eg Bayesian modelling of semantic context and intent.
