What is visual search?

In short

Visual search uses computer vision to let customers search with a photo instead of words, matching the image to products in a catalogue. Used in retail and e-commerce. A shopper can snap a chair they like and instantly see similar items you sell, turning inspiration into a purchase without needing the right search terms or product name.
