Search filters

Image, news, and video results carry a filter bar at the top of the results. Filters apply to the current search only — they are never saved, so every query starts neutral.

Image filters

• Size — Large, Medium, Icon.
• Type — Photo, Clip art, Line drawing, Animated, Face.
• Color — Full color, Black & white, Transparent.
• Under More filters: File type (JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, SVG, WebP, ICO), Aspect ratio (Square, Tall, Wide, Panoramic), and Usage rights (Creative Commons, Commercial & other).

Image search loads more results as you scroll, and every additional batch honors the active filters.

Video and news filters

• Videos: Duration — Short (under 4 minutes), Medium (4–20 minutes), Long (over 20 minutes).
• News: Sort — Relevance (the default) or Most recent.

How filters behave

• A filter applies the moment you pick it. Without JavaScript, an Apply button submits the bar.
• Clear filters appears once anything is active and resets the bar in one click.
• Filters belong to their vertical: switching from Images to News drops the image filters.
• Changing a filter restarts you at the first page of results.
• Filters compose with everything else in the query — operators, time ranges, and Safe Search all still apply.
