Google recently scored big points with improvements to its image search interface on the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Before last week, Google's image search on the iPhone platform left much to be desired. Now, the completely redesigned Web site presents you with a grid of 20 images, nicely laid out, with easy to view thumbnails--rather than just a few haphazard images.

Additionally, Google has added filters to image search, including: faces, clip art, line drawings, and photo content. The SafeSearch setting features three levels of content filtering: Strict, Moderate, and Off. (The search defaults to Moderate unless you specify otherwise.)
