New Visual Search Engine for Fashion Fanatics

Who many times did you see something you like worn by a celebrity? How many hours did you spend at shopping malls and clothes stores trying to find that exact pair of shoes or jacket? With the new internet site `Like` you will find the solution for such queries. The site presents itself as the world`s first visual-based search engine, and says that it will help users find what their looking for based on pictures, rather than text.

Users are able to click on images of different famous people wearing various clothing elements, and the site will browse through more than 200 online vendors to locate the specific item that the user is looking for. With 30,000 different products added each day, the site is positive of its ability to locate anything you are looking for. The item will then be present with a ranging price scale, so everyone can find something they can afford.

Currently the site is featuring about 2 million items, and the number is constantly growing. Finding something you saw in a picture was not easy until now, as Google and other popular search engines are text-based. Finding out the name of the item, or any other recognizing text label that associates with it was necessary before a search could be performed. `Like` is addressing that issue exactly and offers an alternative that will make our lives easier, especially in the case of fanatic fashion lovers.
