Text-powered search is so fundamental to life online that alternatives seem like far-flung fantasy.
Programmer Christian Langreiter, a 27-year-old Austrian, was hired by a European software company to make one alternative real. His creation: Retrievr, a search engine for images based entirely on visual input.
Retrievr sifts through photographs stored in Yahoo's Flickr database by using mouse-powered doodles as its search criteria.

That looks like cool stuff.
It's kind of like an idea I had years ago. Mine was an images search engine like googles (or alta-vista's), however you would have selected an image, and chose 'find like this'

It is pattern recognition, and is not really new. Look out for future advances in radiology and other medical imaging, such as computer assisted diagnosis in mammography.

And thoracic cross-sectional imaging:

I must add that the pattern recognition software on airport X-ray units must be fairly mature by now, and must work on the same principles as computer assisted diagnosis.

Nice idea, it certainly makes searching for images a bit easier, although I can guess what most people have been drawing !
I'll save you all the bother.
