BOSS Visual Search Demo   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #730 of 2276 |
Hi. In a CNET news article on the launch of the BOSS service, there's
a screenshot of a demo showing web page previews. See
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-9986424-93.html . Has anyone seen the
demo? Is the demo a web application or a desktop app? I can't tell
from the picture. Is the demo available online? I want to check out it
myself because I don't see anything in the BOSS API that would return
or generate web page previews for you (unless I missed something in
the documentation). Thanks.

This would be a mashup application. You would have to take the results and then use each result to request a screenshot from a different api. You would then...

Ted is correct, as a stand alone API BOSS could not power a visual search results page. One would have to pull in images from a separate API ­ like the one...

Hey, answering my own post here... I've figured out why I wasn't seeing the query results I was expecting. It's because I am using code that I originally wrote...
