A major player in the stock image market, BigStockPhoto.com, has just announced that it will introduce a "lightening quick" search engine tool.Designed to improve site navigation, narrow search results and enable users to find their images more quickly, the new search engine technology is set to be the first of a raft of new introductions by the firm.
Listening to feedback from users has been the bedrock of the stock image provider's decision to overhaul its search engine, bringing customer service to the forefront of the company's operations.
Tim Donahue, founder and chief executive officer of BigStockPhoto.com, stated:
"The needs of our users have evolved with the rapid growth of our site. Our incredible library of over 1.2 million stock images provides image buyers with the high-quality image selection they need. Now, with the introduction of our new search engine, we can balance those requirements with the need to deliver efficient and relevant search results."
Filters used by BigStockPhoto.com to narrow search options include: resolution, image format, popular images and vertical or horizontal orientation.
"This is just the first of many steps we're taking to dramatically improve BigStockPhoto's user experience," explained Mr Donahue.
Established in 2004, BigStockPhoto.com is a royalty-free stock image provider, supplying images to a range of people including journalists, illustrators, designers, marketers and publishers.
