Week 10 Muddiest Point

It seems to me that the regular Google search engine, and especially google scholar have more direct resluts than google image, is there a difference in how they sort and retrieve or is it mainly due to how people label images

I've wondered about that myself. Sometimes it seems like the photos are great, and other times the results are just completely wrong. I always assumed that it was because of the image labels, but now I wonder if it's because of the search algorithm.

I've noticed that google images will often pull up an image because the term I searched for is on the same page. I'm not sure that it has much to do with the way the image is labeled.
