As Greg covered earlier, Bing announced a ton of new features today. One of those features is an improved image search.

The first major change is the added tabs for image searches that can have several meanings. Some example searches that would trigger the tabs include [Casablanca], [Apple], [Jaguar] and others. Now Bing has added these tabs at the top to help you refine your query.

In addition, Bing added a preview or live version of the site hosting the image in a frame layer below the image. So if you visit a specific image, you can see the full page it came from. Here is a picture:

You can see a video demo of these new features over here.
