Facesaerch is a new search engine that uses Google's image search to primarily display face images. So don't blame the bad results on Facesaerch - it's Google Image's weirdnesses. Access to the search results is done through a sliding bar at the bottom of the screen which scrolls you through all the different results. You can also access them through a little wheely thing that is harder to use. You can add a widget to your website with images from any search you choose. What I like about this is the face-specific search. At the reference desk I used to get lots of questions about photos of such-and-such celebrity or historical figure. A general search was OK, but usually required a lot more wading to get what I wanted. Yet another specialized search engine to add to your toolkit!
One final note: this is one of these cool technologies that has a pretty good chance of A) having come from (at some level) some type of government security research and B) affecting how internet filtering software works. Anything that can parse out a human body part is bound to be effective in "anti-naked-body" technologies.
P.S. Yes, Facesaerch is the right spelling.
