Google Image Swirl was an enhancement for an image-search tool in Google Labs. It was announced on the Google labs blog on November 17, 2009 with a limited number of search queries available. It was built on Google image search by grouping together images with similar visual and semantic qualities. It was suggested that such interface and grouping could help resolve queries that can have multiple types of results, are ambiguous, such as Apple, Jaguar, etc., and explore images associated with various viewpoints. This feature is no longer available.[1]
