Abstract

Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for relevance feedback with faceted search interface. A system provides a first search query to an image search engine for initiating an image search, where the first search query indicates a first search term. The system obtains image metadata from an image collection, and obtains a listing of query refinement terms associated with the first search query from the query refinement data structure. The system determines a listing of search results containing images with one or more facets associated with the listing of query refinement terms. The system then receives user input indicating selection of at least one of the one or more facets of an image in the listing of search results. The system provides a second search query using the first search term and a second search term indicating the selected one or more facets.
