  • Publication number: 20230023202
    Abstract: Image-faceted search systems and/or methods are described. Image-faceting embodiments receive genealogy records certain of which are imaged genealogy records associated with an image. Metadata of the imaged genealogy records are determined or extracted and used to assign the image genealogy records to one or more categories and optionally subcategories. Machine learning may be used to extract the metadata and/or to categorize the records, along with in embodiments a translation algorithm. A user faceted search query is received, with pertinent search results filtered according to a selected facet, such as an image facet, and according to filtering criteria. The filtered search results, including images matching the faceted search query, are presented to a user.
