Google has just revamped how Image search will work on the search engine.  The new search format which will be rolled out in a couple of days, will see images load faster and in a newer, cleaner design.

Google made the announcements on its webmastercentral blog.

Once the changes come into effect, users will be able to quickly flip through a set of images by using their keyboards. What this will mean for search results:

• Google will now display detailed information about the image (the metadata) right underneath the image in the search results, instead of redirecting users to a separate landing page.

• Key information such as the title of the page hosting the image, the domain name it comes from, and the image size will be displayed much more prominently next to the image.
• The domain name is now clickable, and there's a new button to visit the page the image is hosted on.
• The source page will no longer load up in an iframe in the background of the image detail view. This speeds up the experience for users, reduces the load on the source website's servers, and improves the accuracy of webmaster metrics such as pageviews.
