Cool Google URL Hack For Image Search

I owe this tip to the awesome Lifehacker website that covers computer based technology for the ultimate computer geeks (me).

You can restrict Google image searches to images of faces by adding the following &imgtype=face to the end of the search string.

Suppose you want to search for pictures of Paris. You go to google images and type in Paris which yields the following search URL: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=paris.

To search for faces only as a sub-search add the image type hack and the result is mostly images of Paris Hilton as follows: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=paris&imgtype=face

Neat. This is great for people who want to search in sub categories. Hopefully it will become an official feature and they will add more cats.
