When performing an image search, you can tell Google to search specifically for 'faces' versus inanimate objects by simply adding &imgtype=face to the end of your image search.

This could be useful when searching for a celebrity who's name is also similar to a city or object.

imgtype is an operator provided by google. I don't think many google users use it, as they aren't aware of this feature. I would love to see google suggesting these operators to user while typing

Sometimes Google can't be bothered to help the search user, which is ironic considering Google says the search user is the person they so desperately want to help.

Google does help us by suggesting text wile you type in search box.

I was trying to suggest if google can introduce new feature, which none of the search engines currently have then it might get appreciation from everyone.

I would love to see more innovation and new features from Google on search. Though I appreciate the many search features offered now, such as the ones which allow you to limit search to posts made within a certain time frame, etc.
