Using facial recognition on Google Images

Google Images is a new unofficial feature that lets you restrict searches to certain categories of well-defined images. For now it seems the options are available that allow you to search for images containing faces or related news and events.
If we take for example the results provided by Google Images looking for the word "Paris", we can see that some are related to the city of Paris and others to Paris Hilton. Let us now turn to activate the option to restrict the results to only images containing faces by adding "& imgtype = face" at the end of 'URL: get as result only the images containing human faces and for the most relevant (in this applicable) to Paris Hilton.


Instead adding all 'search URL parameter "& imgtype = news", it seems that Google applies a criterion such that only returns results as images on news sites such as the BBS or the New York Times.
You can have fun trying many other words, to see where the results differ more, personally I find it interesting to perform three types of research (standard faces, news) with the word "firefox".
