Abstract
This article reports the analysis of two samples of search logs from a commercial image provider over a 1‐month period. The study analyzes image searches and queries, user query modification strategies, and user browsing and downloading of results. Unique term searches are less frequent than earlier research has shown; descriptive and thematic queries are more common. Boolean searching, although heavily employed, appears to be ineffective and leads to query modifications. Although there was a large amount of query modification (61.7% of queries across the two samples), the tactics overall do not appear to be carefully thought out and seem to be largely experimental. Given the willingness to modify queries but the inability to do so in an effective way, more support for query modification may be beneficial.

The tremendous growth in digital imagery is driving the need for more sophisticated methods for automatic image analysis, cataloging, and searching. We present a method for classifying and querying images based on the spatial orderings of regions or objects using composite region templates (CRTs). T
## Abstract Traditional content‐based image retrieval (CBIR) systems find relevant images close to an example image. This single‐point model has been shown inadequate for complex queries built on high‐level concepts. Recent CBIR systems allow users to use multiple examples to compose their queries.
