Well, Google’s fixed that. Google just-launched a-Pinterest-like feature for its-Image Search, making it incredibly easy to save searched images to collections. Say you search for “bob hairstyles.” After finding a picture you like, all you have to do is click on it, star it, and then the photo will be saved to your collections so the next time you need it — like at the stylist — you won’t need to search again.

Google Photos can help with that The feature is currently rolling out to mobile users and will work on all major browsers on iOS and Android.-You need to be logged into a Google account to save images so that you can access them in your collections. This requirement may-also lead the company to-pair this feature with Collections, which launched for Google+ earlier this year, at a later date.-Collections let users dedicate a Google+ page to the topic of their choosing, and allows people to follow it. Once you search for “bob hairstyles,” the search app will bring up narrower filters you can choose from, like “short,” and “blonde.” Once you choose a picture, hit the star icon and it gets saved to your Google account. “Once you’ve starred a few images, you can keep them organized in folders: to add an image to a folder of similar items, tap the pencil shaped edit icon. Create a grouping such as ‘haircuts for the winter’ or ‘snowman ideas’ and your image will be added to a folder with similar ones,” said Diego Accame, a Google software engineer, in the blog post announcement. When you want to find your saved images, just hit the “view saved” card that lies on the bottom-right of the image search page. Oddly, you still have to go to the searched images page to see this card. After testing it out, we couldn’t access our saved images from the Google search or images mobile site. This could be a bug or something they haven’t quite implemented yet. The feature is only available in the United States, and it’s unclear when the search giant will make it available worldwide and if, or when, it can be used on a desktop.
